Kendua Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Ali Hossain said that Julekha Begum, wife of Haresh Miah, went to Jurail Haor by boat with her sister-in-law Nazmunnahar and her children to see the flood waters on Tuesday morning.
Julekha's seven-year-old daughter Tanzina fell into the water while the boat was swaying in the strong wind. Julekha then jumped into the water to save her child.
Although Tanzina could be rescued at that time, Julekha drowned. Her body was later recovered by her relatives.

The locals believe that the body may have come from the Indian side, he added.
