The missing child artiste, Teja in River Ganga at Rishikesh was found dead. His dead body was traced by the special police, which plunged into the action. Narla Teja Chowdhary was studying in first year intermediate. He along with his classmates went to Rishikesh a week ago to apparently take part in a yoga camp. It was a week ago that this person went missing at Neem beach.

His parents, however, exuded confidence that Teja was alive-the moment he went missing-as they said the boy knew swimming. After a week, his dead body was found near at Sai Ghat. His body was sent for post mortem. Teja acted in several movies such as Kathanayakudu and Murari.

One has to be very careful near rivers and seas. It is the duty of parents too to instill the safety measures among their children to avoid such incidents.
