Two youth drown in Kaigal waterfalls

Bengaluru: Two youth from Karnataka drowned in the swirling waters of the Kaigal waterfalls, nestled in the forests along the Chittoor-Karnataka border.

The deceased are Manohar (25) of Mulbagal and Sampath Kumar (27) of Bengaluru.

Reportedly, a group of youth reached the picnic spot, which is currently in full force following recent rains in the afternoon. Manohar and Sampath Kumar lost grip on a slippery rock and fell into the gushing waters.

After getting washed away for a few metres, they drowned in a pool.

The Baireddipalle police who learned about the incident rushed to the spot and fished out the bodies, and sent them to area hospital for autopsy.
