The body of a missing Rajaji Tiger Reserve official was recovered from the Chilla canal here on Thursday, taking the death toll to five, an SDRF official said. The tiger reserve’s wildlife warden Aloki Devi has been missing since January 7 after she fell into the canal from an electric vehicle which crashed into a tree during a trial run, killing four persons, including two forest officers. This morning, Devi’s body was found floating on the surface of the canal, which had been scoured by a team of divers since the accident occurred, SDRF inspector Kavindra Sajwan said. The body was pulled out of the water and handed over to the police, he said.
