Tragic Drowning Incident Claims Three Lives in Andhra Pradesh

Three boys tragically drowned in a check dam in Jagaram, Andhra Pradesh. The incident happened when one boy started drowning, and the other two attempted to rescue him, resulting in all three losing their lives. The bodies were retrieved and sent for post-mortem.

Three boys drowned while taking bath in a check dam here on Tuesday morning, police said on Tuesday.

The mishap occurred at Jagaram Gadda in Vizianagaram district.

Vizianagaram sub-divisional police officer R Govind Rao said the teens had gone to swim in the check dam and there was no foul play over the incident.

''Early this morning they went to Jagaram and accidentally drowned in the water,'' Rao told PTI.

When one of them started drowning, two others jumped in to save him. But all of them drowned as they did not know how to swim.

The bodies of the teenagers were retrieved and shifted to Vizianagaram government hospital for post-mortem.

A case was registered.
