MAPUSA
Holi revelry turned tragic for a group of four youngsters after a teenager studying in Class 12 drowned in a rivulet in Mapusa.
The body of the deceased Shivraj Shivabasanava (19), a native of Belagavi-Karnataka but residing at Acoi-Mapusa, was later fished out by fire personnel attached to Mapusa Fire Station.
The incident happened at around 2.30 pm at Acoi when the four youth, including the deceased, after participating in Holi celebrations decided to take bath in the rivulet at Acoi.
The other three noticed the absence of their friend only after they came out of the rivulet and immediately alerted the neighbours.
After getting information, Mapusa fire station personnel rushed to the site and retrieved the body after a search.
The body has been sent for post mortem to Goa Medical College and Hospital, Bambolim.
