Rescue 1122 has identified the deceased as Murtaza son of Khush Khan, Mehboob son of Basharat, and Fayaz son of Musar.
It should be noted that the people of Chitral often create ponds on the banks of the river to hunt geese. Plastic chicken-like toy birds are released in these ponds to attract visiting geese from the coastal regions of Russia, Siberia, and other frozen regions. Hunters lurking there hunt them.
However, during this hunt or in these ponds, sometimes the hunters themselves or other people also become victims, as this incident clearly shows.
