Around 12.30 pm, the group of schoolboys were swimming in the sea when Harish was first sucked in by a giant wave. Akash, who went in search of his brother, also went missing in the sea. Others searched for the sibling duo and found Harish’s body washed ashore. Meanwhile, rescue personnel at the beach rushed to the spot on information and launched a search operation. 

However, they could only retrieve Akash’s body. The bodies were sent for post-mortem and the duo’s father Devaraj, a tailor by profession, was alerted. Marina police are investigating the incident.
