Three 14-year-old boys have gone missing after being swept away by strong waves at Rushikonda beach in Visakhapatnam. The incident occurred on Friday, October 2, 2026, while the boys were playing in the sea.
The boys were reportedly part of a group of students from the Madhurawada area who had visited the beach for a holiday. They ventured into the water, and strong waves are said to have pulled them into deeper areas.
Following their disappearance, other members of the group raised an alarm. Local residents and swimmers initiated a search, but their efforts were unsuccessful. The city police, marine police, local swimmers, and a scuba team have since launched a comprehensive search operation. Police personnel, including the Assistant Commissioner of Police and Inspector, were at the scene, coordinating the efforts. The Commissioner of Police was also present, personally monitoring the search and rescue operation. Further details regarding the identities of the missing boys are still awaited.
