Accident
Police said around 50 Manipuris had come to Ravishing Retreat resort located on Machanabele Road in Harisandra Monday morning.
A police officer said: “Post-lunch, there was a group photo session near one of the swimming pools. They had opted for a ‘day in-day out’ package. Dhongloi, who was playing nearby, went near the pool and accidentally slipped in. Unfortunately, no one noticed him then. Sometime later, one of the group members saw the boy in the water and alerted others. Though he was shifted to a nearby hospital, doctors declared him dead. There was no attendant near the swimming pool when the tragedy took place, the police officer added.
