Two Family Members Drown in Vialal Lake in Sangareddy District
A man named M. Ganesh went to a lake with his family to take a bath after going to a relative's funeral.
Ganesh did not know how to swim.
When he lost his footing, he got scared and panicked.
He slipped into a part of the lake that was about 12 feet deep.
His uncle, G. Muniraju, saw him struggling and jumped in to help him.
But the uncle also drowned because the water was too deep.
Other family members nearby called for lifesavers to rescue them.
Sadly, the lifesavers could only find their bodies late at night.
The police wrote a report about the deaths and took the bodies to a government hospital.
