The police reported that the tragedy occurred when nine youths went for a swim in the Hazara canal in Nadrai area on Friday. They unexpectedly slipped into deeper waters and began to drown because of the strong current. While four managed to escape, the others were not so fortunate. The screams alerted nearby locals who then notified the authorities.

Subsequently, local police and SDRF teams initiated a rescue operation, recovering two bodies on Friday.
