“Where’s the Wizard? Suddenly a River Mystery!”
Picture this: a 40‑year‑old stage magician, the famed Jadugar Mandrake, gets lowered straight into the mighty Ganges on a Sunday. He comes strapped up with steel chains and some heavy rope, while families, reporters, and police line up along the bank like a live circus.
But… the river decided to play a cruel trick. Mandrake never emerged. And the frantic hunt ensued.
Meet the Man Behind the Magic
- Chanchal Lahiri, stage name Wizard Mandrake – 40 years old.
- Earlier, he bragged about a 21‑year‑old highlight at the same spot.
- He’d once dropped from the Howrah bridge inside a bullet‑proof glass box, tied by chains. He emerged in just 29 seconds.
The Last Attempt – A Tragic Twist?
He told the crowd, “If I can open the lock, it will be pure magic. If not, it’ll be tragic.” He knew this was a tough squeeze. In 2013, he was handcuffed and slammed into the river, and onlookers pretended to see him escape via a door that was obviously visible. This time he was expecting the same daring trick, but fate had a different card.
What the Police Are Saying
“We’re still hunting for a missing magicians. The river and the locks are playing hide‑and‑seek,” a family member remarked, voice trembling like a tight rope. The cord demon crew is on the case, searching every inch of the water.
So, while the public’s expecting a grand spectacle, the Ganges has a new mystery—one that’s got everyone sipping tea, watching the water, and hoping the missing wizard will—suddenly—wake up!
