Moodabidri: A fun outing with friends at Nagundi falls turned out to be tragic for a youth who accidentally slipped and fell into the falls.
Ganesh Gowda (35), a mason by profession and a resident of Kurikumer of Thenkamijar had come to Nagundi falls near Kanchibail of Puthige GP limits last Thursday, October 6 alongwith four of his friends to enjoy the Dasara holidays.
As per reports Ganesh was seated at a rock nearby the spot his friends were enjoying when he accidentally slipped and fell into the falls. Though his friends tried to search for him he could not be traced and they returned back to their villages.
Strangely they remained tight-lipped about the whole incident and when questioned by Ganesh’s mother about his whereabouts, the friends said that he had got down from the vehicle mid-way through and they had no idea where he had gone.
On Tuesday, Ganesh’s mother registered a complaint with Bajpe police.
During the course of police questioning the friends divulged the real details of the incident. The four were then taken to the accident spot and the dead body of Ganesh was retrieved with the help of divers.
