Cuttack, Nov 26: The bodies of all the four Class VIII students who had gone missing in the Mahanadi River near Bhadimul Ghat in Cuttack on Thursday were recovered.

Reportedly, the Fire Services department had fished out the body of one Jaga Behera late last night. Bodies of two more students identified as Akash Bahalia, Subham Sethi, and Chandan Behera were recovered today morning.

Notably, the four classmates from Potapokhari in the Nayabazar area of Cuttack had left home yesterday afternoon after returning from school and gone to the river to take a bath.

As they did not return home, the family members launched a search in the evening to trace their whereabouts and found their bicycles near the ghat.
