The trio swept away when they were taking bath in the river near near Veera Maruti Temple at Nandavar near Panemangalore on the outskirts of the city.

According to local residents, the tragedy occurred duo to the negligence of nearby AMR power project, which released its water all of a sudden to the river without issuing any warning signal.

“When the trio dived into the river, the water level was low. However, suddenly an artificial flood occurred, when the power project opened its gates” said Abdul Rahman, a local resident, who along with two others made a futile effort to rescue the youth.
