A household get-together turned tragic as three members drowned in a lake in Kambathanahalli village on the outskirts of Chickballapur on Sunday afternoon.
The deceased have been recognized as Ranjith, 27, a local of Pathapalli, Srinivaspur taluk, Ramya N., 24, resident of Bidadi close to Abbanakuppe, and Abhilash Lakshminaryanappa, 21, resident of Kittaganahalli.
The victims had been kin who had come to the village to attend a household lunch organized on the farmhouse after Deepavali celebrations.
After lunch, the trio wandered across the farmhouse and reached the pond crammed with rainwater. Ramya ventured into the pond to play and misplaced stability as a result of silt and began drowning. Ranjith and Abhilash jumped into the lake to rescue her, however they didn’t know swimming and drowned. The pond was 20 ft. deep, the police mentioned.
