Following this incident, a sense of mourning has spread throughout the village, and a calamity has befallen the family members.

According to preliminary investigations and available information, the accident occurred when the children of the family were near a water tank located in a field. During this time, one child suddenly fell into the water. Seeing the child drowning, other children also entered the water to save them. In an attempt to save each other, all four children were engulfed in the depths of the water and could not come out. As soon as the incident was known, local residents and family members rushed to the spot, but by then it was too late.

Upon learning of the incident, the local police administration also became active. The police have retrieved the bodies and sent them for post-mortem.

Currently, the police are conducting further investigations into the matter and the process of recording statements from the family has been undertaken. Following this tragedy, heavy grief is being observed among the villagers, and the family members have fallen into shock.

Bikaner district is located in the north-western part of Rajasthan and is known for its vast desert region and agriculture. In this area, a large number of water tanks or reservoirs are constructed by farmers for irrigation, which are used for water storage. Previously, accidents due to open or unsafe water tanks have also been recorded in such areas.
