In an unfortunate event, four out of five teenage boys, who were drowned in Mumbai's Juhu beach, have been found dead on Tuesday evening, June 13. Rescuers have found the bodies of all the four boys aged between 12 and 16 years.
The deceased were identified as Jay Roshan Tajbariya (15), Manish Yogesh Oganiya (12), Shubham Yogesh Oganiya (15) and Dharmesh Valji Faujiya (16). Their bodies have been sent for post-mortem.
All of them went missing after they swept away into Arabian sea off Juhu's Koliwada a day earlier, on June 12. While one of them was rescued, the others went missing, prompting the Fire Brigade to launch a search operation with assistance from the Indian Coast Guard (ICG).
For those unversed, the group of five young boys had ventured into the rough sea, about half a kilometre from the shore, around 5.30 pm on Monday.
The Fire Brigade suspended the search operation due to darkness and bad weather owing to cyclone Biparjoy around 11 pm. Before that, a Navy chopper was pressed into service at 8.20 pm.
The operation resumed in the morning during which the missing boys were located and rushed to civic-run Cooper Hospital, where the doctors declared them brought dead, PTI quoted the official as saying.
The bodies of two of the four missing boys were recovered early in the morning and the others in the afternoon, said the official.
