The tiger reserve’s wildlife warden Aloki Devi had 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 people, including two forest officers. 

On Thursday 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.
