While returning from the temple, the youths reportedly entered the Haldhi Vaagu stream near Nacharam in Wargal mandal. According to investigators, none of them knew how to swim, but they ventured into deeper water and were unable to come out.
When the three men failed to return, their friends and relatives began searching for them. Their bodies were recovered from the stream on Thursday morning, bringing shock and grief to the local community.
The deceased were identified as Yerragolla Prasanth aged 27, Vikas aged 26 and K Anand Reddy aged 27. All three belonged to Narsapur village in Siddipet district.
Police shifted the bodies to a government hospital for post mortem examination and registered a case. An investigation has been launched to determine the exact sequence of events leading to the drowning incident.
Meanwhile, separate accidents were also reported from different parts of Telangana. In Siddipet district, three people were injured after a DCM vehicle carrying mangoes overturned near Venkateshwarlapalli in Koheda mandal. Locals gathered at the spot and took away mangoes scattered across the road after the accident.
In another road mishap in Suryapet district, a private travel bus travelling from Hyderabad to Vijayawada collided with a DCM vehicle near Dwarakunt in Kodad mandal. Police said around 30 passengers were travelling in the bus and a few of them suffered minor injuries.
