13-year-old and his 3 friends had gone swimming in quarry filled with 500-ft deep water
A 13-year-old boy drowned in a water-filled quarry in Pasuvanayanakuppam, Anaicut, where he went to swim along with friends on Saturday, Pallikonda police said. The NDRF (National Disaster Response Force) recovered the body at 1 am on Sunday.
The minor, K Kishore, is the son of Karthik and Bhoomi, a couple who work as daily wage workers in Tirupattur. Since it was summer vacation, the couple and their son went to his grandmother's home in Anaicut, according to the Pallikonda police. Kishore and his three friends went swimming in a water-filled quarry in Pasuvanayanakuppam on Saturday morning. The middle part of the quarry was 500 feet deep and filled with water. Kishore drowned after inadvertently entering the middle section of the quarry.
Around 11.30 am, parents went to look for him after hearing about the incident. But when they couldn't find him, they alerted fire and rescue officials. The team searched from noon until 7 pm, but they were unable to find the boy.
