Woman drowns in swimming pool, two others die in attempt to rescue her

Three women from Mysuru drowned in a swimming pool at a private beach resort in Karnataka’s Mangaluru on Sunday.
The victims have been identified as 21-year-old Nishita MD, 20-year-old Parvathi S, and 21-year-old Keerthana N. They had been staying at a private beach resort in Mangaluru’s Someshwara Uchila since Saturday (November 16).
According to police reports, the women entered the pool around 10 am on Sunday after setting up a phone to record videos and leaving their clothes poolside.
Just a few minutes after entering the pool, one of the women drowned, and in an attempt to rescue her, the other two women also drowned. The entire incident took place within a few minutes, police said.
CCTV footage from the pool showed women struggling to swim in the pool. The incident happened as none of the three knew how to swim, police said.
The incident was discovered by the resort staff, who raised an alarm. A team from Ullal Police Station, led by inspector HN Balakrishna, rushed to the resort and further investigation is on.
