A 20-year-old man, named Rahul, tragically drowned in a quarry near the Kevdeshwar Mahadev Temple in Indore on Sunday afternoon. According to the report, Rahul went with two friends to the water-filled quarry to bathe around 3 pm. The quarry had accumulated rainwater, causing it to become deep. While Rahul reportedly knew how to swim, his friends testified that he dove headfirst into the water and struck his head against a submerged rock.
Following the impact, Rahul sank immediately and could not resurface. One of his friends tried to save him, but as he lacked strong swimming skills, he too began to drown and had to retreat. The police initiated a search and rescue operation that afternoon; however, it had to be halted due to poor visibility and darkness. The search resumed early Monday morning, and search teams succeeded in retrieving Rahul's body from the quarry.
The police have launched an investigation to determine the exact circumstances of the incident and have sent his body for a post-mortem examination.
