An Assam Rifles statement said here 21-year old rifleman Bablu Hussain Mazumdar, of 33 AR, was drowned in the Loktak Lake on Monday afternoon.

A resident of Shillong, Mazumdar’s body was later fished out and sent for post-mortem at the Regional Institute of Medical Science, Imphal, the statement said.
