On Monday, he visited Sahastradhara with his friends for an outing.
Police said Sanjay ignored warnings and jumped into a dangerous stream. Within moments, he was swept away by the strong flow and disappeared from sight. One of his friends was also planning to jump into the water but changed his mind at the last moment, a decision that police believe saved his life.
After receiving information about the incident, police and local authorities launched a search operation.
However, he could not be traced immediately. His body was recovered on Wednesday and later handed over to his family after post-mortem examination.
Sahastradhara, located on the Narmada River, is known for its natural beauty, rocky stretches and fast-flowing water channels.
Officials say bathing or entering deep water at the site is extremely risky. According to official figures, more than 100 people have lost their lives in accidents at the spot over the past ten years.
