The body of an 18-year-old youth who was swept away by a strong current in a drain in Sarita Vihar on Friday evening was recovered late Saturday night near the Agra Canal.

The deceased has been identified as Ankit, a resident of Bhim Colony in the Ali Village area. He worked as a pantry worker in Noida and was returning home from work when the incident occurred.

According to the police, Ankit was attempting to cross the drain by walking on top of a fast-flowing stream when he slipped and was swept away by the current. His body was eventually located downstream near the Agra Canal, where the Sarita Vihar drain opens up.
