Toddler drowns after falling into river in India
A toddler drowned after slipping off her father’s shoulder while he was taking photos in India and falling into a swollen river.
Coventry-based anaesthesiologist Megha Reddy screamed for help as his 18-month-old daughter Manvi disappeared under the water in Hyderabad and was washed downstream in strong currents.
A frantic search was launched for the girl and rescue divers pulled her body out of the Musi river more than four miles away.
Dr Reddy, 42, and his wife Pratibha, who emigrated to Britain 15 years ago, were said to be in a state of shock and being comforted by family members following the accident .
The doctor and his family had travelled to Hyderabad last month to attend a family wedding, and were scheduled to return to Britain next Wednesday.
