Family members of the bride were bidding farewell to Rosy Friday morning. All of a sudden, the girl fainted and collapsed on the floor of the house after crying inconsolably. The family members immediately rushed her to Dunguripali community health centre (CHC). However, the doctors at the hospital declared Rosy ‘brought dead’.
“She fainted during the farewell ceremony and the doctors declared her dead at the hospital. This is a very unfortunate incident. May God give strength to the bereaved families of the couple to bear the massive tragedy,” a resident of Julunda village Ramesh Sahu said.
