On 19th March 2011, the day of Holi, Souvik Swami, a first year student of IT of Bengal Enginnering and Science University, Shibpur had drowned in the gharikal pond when he along with other ten students went down in the pond to wash their hands and feet. All the BESU community deeply mourns his untimely demise and have taken it a task to ensure that such incident does not repeat.
He comes of a middle class family of Patna and elder son of his father. It was later revealed that he did not know swimming.
We love you Sourav.
