Two children who went for a swim in the Cooum, abutting Mackay’s Garden on Greames Road, drowned on Sunday. The river has become deep after it was desilted recently. The victims were Pradeep, 8, son of Prabhuraj and Dhanalakshmi, and Ritesh Kumar, 12, son of Siva and Jamuna. The families live in Alagiri Nagar on Greames Road.
Stephen, 13, the victims’ friend who jumped into the river to save them, was rescued and admitted to a hospital. The bodies of Pradeep and Ritesh were sent for post-mortem. A case was registered in the Thousand Lights police station, and investigation is on.
Recalling the events leading to the accident, P. Jayalakshmi, 12, Pradeep’s elder sister, said she had accompanied her brother as the boys promised to show her parrots. “Initially, we played on the banks of the river. After sometime, Ritesh and Pradeep got into the water for a swim, but they started drowning,” she said.
Stephen jumped into the river to rescue them but almost drowned.“Hearing my cries, residents jumped in and saved Stephen. But they could not find Pradeep and Ritesh,” she said. A Tamil Nadu Fire and Rescue Vehicle was pressed into service and retrieved the bodies.
