She did not return home after the ceremony, prompting her family to launch a search.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>At around 9 am on Sunday, villagers near Rampurwa spotted a crocodile holding a woman\u2019s body in its jaws in the Saryu river, about 3 km from her home. Residents gathered at the spot, shouted and pelted stones at the crocodile, forcing it to release the body before retreating into the river.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Several villagers, including the village head\u2019s representative, entered the river at considerable risk and retrieved the body.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>By the time the body was recovered, the crocodile had reportedly devoured both of the woman\u2019s legs, while deep bite marks were visible on her face and other parts of her body.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Family members suspect Ketki was attacked while crossing a bridge over the Saryu on her way back from the wedding.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Police reached the spot, sent the body for post mortem and launched investigation into the sequence of events.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>SHO Prakash Chandra Sharma urged people to avoid venturing near the Saryu and other crocodile-infested areas unless absolutely necessary, especially during the monsoon when crocodile sightings increase.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Ketki is survived by her husband and four sons, all of whom rushed home on learning about the tragedy.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/lucknow\/villagers-recover-womans-body-from-crocs-jaws-in-saryu\/articleshow\/132202838.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lucknow: A 55-year-old woman was killed in a crocodile attack while returning home from a wedding in Uttar Pradesh\u2019s Bahraich district.
