"Landep News" Mumbai: A college girl who fell into the
swirling Arabian Sea while clicking a selfie off a rocky beach here on
Saturday and a youth who plunged into the water to save her were both
untraced, police said. The Indian Coast Guard launched an aerial search
to trace the two missing people.
Tarannum
Ansari, 18, and her two friends Anjum Khan (19) and Kasuri Khan (19)
slipped while clicking a selfie with their mobile phones and fell into
the swirling seawaters off the rocky beach of Bandra Bandstand.
On
hearing their screams for help, local youth Rajesh Walunj jumped into
the rising tidal waters and managed to rescue Anjum and Kasuri and later
tried to save Tarannum.
However, along with Tarannum, Walunj went
missing in the waters and they were not found till late Saturday
evening, said BMC Disaster Control.
Police, fire brigade and the
fishing folk from Worli were helping in the search operation in the sea
waters near the Rajiv Gandhi Bandra Worli Sea Link.
An Indian
Coast Guard helicopter started sorties near Bandra Bandstand, opposite
the Hotel Taj Lands End in the evening even as the high tide hampered
both visibility and rescue operations.
The three girl college
students, hailing from Bainganwadi in the eastern suburb of Govandi and
who study in different colleges, had come for a weekend picnic to Bandra
Bandstand, a favourite with tourists, picnickers and couples, senior
police inspector R. Dhavle told media persons.
Dhavle suspects
that Tarannum -- who was around 50 metres from the shore -- and Walunj
may have been swept far away from the shore.
