It is learned that Gopal got married to a woman from Aiza village of the same district last year. With the death of Gopal, a pall of gloom surrounded in his native place Keti Doddi.

Meanwhile, the state has seen a dip in fatal road accidents since all the citizens are confined to home due to the lockdown. The overall crime rate has also dipped to nearly 33 to 55 per cent. One of the reasons is also due to the increase in police patrolling and setting up checkposts at the state borders.
