It happened on Saturday late evening. A video has emerged showing the young man getting trapped in the middle of a culvert which was overflowing with strong currents of flood water. He was holding onto his bike, which was slipping into the drain from the culvert.Though the young man tried hard to stop the bike from being swept away, he himself got washed away eventually along with the bike. Some youths tried to wade to the strong currents of the flowing water on the culvert to save him, but by then the force of flood water had increased.
