Alta, Norway: Sita Baniya, one among the three children returned home late Monday evening from University Hospital in Tromsø.
The misfortune occurred when Diwas Chhetri, 12 accidentally fell down into the water as they were playing and taking photos of each other riding bicycle. “I jumped into the water and tried to rescue Diwas. I could not know where he was”, Sita said.
Police does not exactly know how all the children fell down. “Currently we have just a guess on how the accident occurred. A theory is that one fell down and subsequently the others tried to rescue him”, said police superintendent Knut Arvid Sætermo at Alta sheriff’s office to VG.
