B Thameem Ansari (13) of Tondiarpet, a Class 6 student of a private school, went to the Kasimedu fishing harbour along with his friends, Noor Mohammed (12) and Mohammed Ansari (12), on Tuesday morning.

The search operation was stopped late on Tuesday night and would resume on Wednesday morning, said the Kasimedu Fishing Harbour police, who have registered a case on the incident.
