The boy went missing after he was attacked by a crocodile while bathing in the tank. His father tried hard to save him but failed, according to the area Police.
The child had said his leg had been bit just moments after entering the lake, and then his parents tried to get him out of the water.
But the father had accidentally let go of the child’s hand, as he struggled against the crocodile.
According to the villagers, there were six crocodiles in the lake, and several people had experienced crocodile attacks.
