College Students Drown in Dahisar Quarry

Tragedy struck in Dahisar East on Saturday when two college students drowned while swimming in a quarry. Om Singh, 19, and Piyush Gupta, 18, lost their lives after venturing into deeper water at the Shaikh Khadaan Compound quarry.

Singh and Gupta, both first-year Commerce students, were with two classmates when they decided to swim. Reports indicate the group had consumed beer near the quarry before entering the water, and crucially, none of them knew how to swim. Their attempt to stay afloat failed when they got into difficulty, and despite rescue efforts, both were pronounced dead at Babasaheb Ambedkar Hospital.
