Three teenagers, who had gone missing while swimming in the Dholi Dhaja dam on the outskirts of Surendranagar district, were found dead with police saying they died due to drowning.
The Rajkot fire brigade and Surendrangar fire brigade recovered the bodies of Suresh Detroja (18), Tejas Kukadiya (17) and Mahesh Bhalgama (17) from the dam around 10:15 am Sunday, the police said.
“The trio had gone missing after they jumped in the Dholi Dhaja dam near the landing of Saurashtra Branch Canal of Narmada project on Saturday afternoon. The matter had come to light late on Saturday evening and a search and rescue operation was launched but to no avail. The search and rescue operation was halted at night but resumed Sunday morning. Eventually, the rescuers recovered their bodies,” RJ Jadeja, police sub-inspector in-charge of Joravarnagar police station, said.
Police said the victims were residents of Ratanpar village near Joravarnagar, which in turn, is part of the Surendranagar town. All of them were students, police said.
According to officers, the victims and their two other friends — Maulik Sheikh and Krishna Makwana — had gone on the bank of the dam for an outing. But while Sheikh and Makwana stayed back on the bank, Detroja, Kukadiya and Bhalgama jumped in the dam to beat the heat.
“The bodies of the victims have been handed over to their families after post-mortem,” PSI said, adding a case of accidental death has been registered at Joravarnagar police station in this connection.
Dholi Dhaja dam, also known as Wadhwan Bhogavo-II dam — the tail-end of Saurashtra Branch Canal of Narmada dam project, remains filled round the year even when other dams in the water-starved Saurashtra region generally go dry around this time of the year. The dam feeds Morbi and Botad branch canals of the Narmada project besides supplying drinking water to Surendranagar town and other nearby areas.
