The bodies of the boy’s mother and brother were found after a passer-by on Saturday after they spotted someone floating in the pond.

The discovery prompted an urgent search for Pranav.

Police spent hours on Saturday afternoon searching for the young boy, and the search resumed with specialist divers early on Sunday morning.
