Bijnor (UP), Aug 23 (PTI) A 31-year-old BSF jawan jumped into a canal here on Saturday with his one-year-old son, days after his wife had also jumped into the water, police said.

Rescuers are searching for the three bodies, they said.

SHO of Kotwali City, Bijnor, Dharmendra Solanki, said BSF jawan Rahul, a resident of Ved Vihar Colony in the Najibabad police station area, jumped into the water from Gate No. 17 of the Ganga Barrage, carrying his son in his lap.
