  "account": "Three adolescent boys vanished near Rushikonda beach in Visakhapatnam on Friday, October 2, 2026, after reportedly being carried away by powerful waves while swimming. Belonging to a group of students from Madhurawada, the trio were among a larger gathering who had traveled there on their day off. As they played in the water, strong currents unexpectedly pulled them into deeper, more dangerous sections of the sea. Concerned members of the group alerted locals and swimmers, who immediately set out to locate the missing boys but were unable to do so. Despite the rapid response from city police, marine police, local swimmers, and a scuba diving team, the boys remained missing after an extensive search operation. The Madhurawada Assistant Commissioner of Police, along with other law enforcement officials, joined forces with the rescue efforts, and a scuba team was deployed to aid in the investigation. As the city's Commissioner of Police personally monitored the search, authorities continued their efforts to locate the three missing boys. The identities of the young victims and further details of the incident were yet to be disclosed.",
