Father and Son Drown During Ganesh Idol Immersion
A father and his young son tragically died during a Ganesh idol immersion event.
They were helping local children with the immersion.
The father, driving his vehicle, took a wrong turn near the lake and accidentally drove into the water.
Because it was dark and no one saw it happen, they weren't found for a while.
After a search, the vehicle was recovered by divers.
Sadly, the father and son were found inside.
A father and son drowned in Dundigal, Telangana, during a Ganesh idol immersion.
The victims were identified as D. Srinu and his seven-year-old son, D. John Wesley.
The accident occurred when their vehicle fell into Pedda Cheruvu.
The immersion activity at the lake's far end meant no one noticed the incident immediately.
DRF teams recovered the vehicle and bodies from the lake on Monday morning.
