Chinsurah MLA Ashit Mazumdar, and senior TMC leader, Tapan Dasgupta, soon arrived at the Ganga ghat. 

Tapan Dasgupta remarked: “It is beyond imagination that such an expert swimmer could drown. We suspect that he may have fallen ill while bathing, lost control, and slipped into the deeper waters.” 

Chunchura Ward 21 councillor, Mita Chatterjee, said: “Surender’s daughter’s wedding is scheduled for November this year, and the lodge was booked just yesterday.” The tragic incident has cast a shadow of grief over the community.”
