Three people drowned after a boat with 16 people on board capsized in Sharda river in Ratanganj village in Uttar Pradesh’s Sitapur on Saturday, officials said.<\/p>\n

The passengers were on their way to attend the cremation of 22-year-old Dinesh Gupta who drowned in the same river during Holi celebrations on Friday, according to locals.<\/p>\n

There were 16 people on the boat when the incident happened around noon. They were evacuated and sent to a Community Health Centre in Tambor when three were declared dead, Sub-Divisional Magistrate Biswa Manish Kumar told PTI.<\/p>\n

A two-year-old child was rescued and sent home but 12 others are still undergoing treatment at the centre, he said.<\/p>\n

The victims have been identified as Sanjay (32), Khushboo (30) and Kumkum (13), police said.<\/p>\n

Family and villagers were going across the Sharda river in two boats for Dinesh’s cremation. While the boat carrying some family members and the body reached the shore, the ill-fated boat with 16 people on board capsized in the middle of the river, the locals said.<\/p>\n

The bodies have been sent for post-mortem, the police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
