Two school students drowned off the Marina on Monday. Accompanied by their soccer coaches, students of Guru Nanak Matriculation Higher Secondary’s School had gone to the Marina for practice. The coaching began at 7.30 a.m. The police said that after two hours, the coaches had asked them to go home. However, the boys pretended to leave and returned to the beach.
While they were playing in the waters, high tides dragged Kishore Kumar, Deepak and Santhosh, all aged 15, into the sea. Fishermen were able to rescue Santosh.
The bodies of Kishore Kumar and Deepak were washed ashore. The victims are from Velachery and Saidapet.
