6 UP kids drown in 2 separate cases, 4 others & woman saved
AGRA/MEERUT: Six young girls drowned in ponds in two separate incidents in Agra and Shahjahanpur districts in western UP over the weekend, police said on Sunday. All the victims were between 10 and 16 years of age.
Four girls drowned while four other children were rescued from a pond near the Yamuna Expressway in Agra around 10:30am on Sunday. The girls were washing clothes in the pond when children bathing nearby ventured into the deep end and began to drown. A woman attempted to save them but also started drowning. Alert children playing cricket nearby raised the alarm, leading a home guard and a passerby to save the woman and four children. The bodies of the four drowned girls were later recovered.
Agra ACP Sukanya Sharma said, "Three rescued children are being treated in hospital. The girls who drowned, Hina, Khushi, Chandni, and Riya, were around 10 to 12 years old. Their bodies have been sent for post-mortem."
In the second incident, a 13-year-old girl and her 16-year-old sister drowned while walking their dog in heavy rain in Rajanpur village, Shahjahanpur, on Saturday. tnn
