Kumar had gone for a swim at the pool in the house of Somashekhar with his relative Srinath, on the latter’s bike at around 2.30 pm. He drowned while he was swimming.

In another incident, two boys drowned at Honnakalasapura lake in Anekal taluk on Thursday night. Local residents retrieved the bodies of the two boys, while their search for the body of another boy suspected to have drowned failed.
