A 40-year-old man drowned and two others were missing on Sunday after they were caught in the current in Halali Dam in Madhya Pradesh's Raisen district, a police official said.

While the body of Waseem Khan has been retrieved from the dam, some 35 kilometres from the district headquarters, a search continues for his son Rehan Khan (15) and their kin Shafiq Khan (70), said Additional Superintendent of Police Amrit Meena.

Meena said a man identified as Rahul (23), who had come along with the Khans for a picnic from Bhopal, managed to swim to safety.
