Fire Services personnel managed to recover it today from the channel, a source said.
According to the source, Chinmayee came from her native place –Madanpur Rampur in Kalahandi district — to VSSUT yesterday for the convocation ceremony to obtain her degree.
Later, she went to the Power Channel bridge with a male friend where she allegedly jumped from the bridge.

Police, meanwhile, have questioned her friend — who went with her to the bridge — in this connection.
Chinmayee’s family members alleged that victim was murdered by her male friend.
Family members of Chinmayee made such accusations after witnessing injury marks – caused due to suspected strangulation – on her neck, the source added.
However, the exact reason behind this case is still unclear. Local police said that they will be able to comment after receiving the post-mortem report.
