Mangaluru, Oct 12: A youth who had come to view the Nagundi waterfall near Kanchibailu of Puthige grama panchayat limits slipped and fell to his death in the lake. The incident came to light only on Wednesday October 12, six days after the incident.



Ganesh Gowda (35) from Karikumeru Thenkamijaru is the person deceased. He was working as a mason at Bengaluru along with Rajesh, Kumar, Sunil and Srikanth other youth from his hometown.

He had come home for Dasara festivals and was sitting near a rock near Nagundi falls on October 6. His four friends sat a little away. He had consumed liquor and fell after slipping from the rock. He sustained injuries to his head and fell into the water below. As he fell, Rajesh who came with him jumped into the water and tried to
rescue him but to no avail. As Ganesh could not be traced, his friends who returned, did not disclose the matter to anyone.

When the mother of Ganesh Gowda asked them, they lied to her saying that Ganesh had come with them halfway and returned from there. She later complained to Bajpe police station on Tuesday with the help of the local leaders. The truth came out when the police questioned his friends.

The police brought Ganesh Gowda's friends Rajesh and Sunil to Nagundi falls and asked them the details of the incident. Moodbidri police and fire service personnel alsocame to the spot.

Ishwar Kateel, Abhilash Kateel, Arun Bhat, Ravi and Karunakar got down into the water and found the dead body at the place where Ganesh is said to have fallen.

    Cant believe.You Need not have enemys when such friends are there.Real friendship is ready to give life if needed.Here they goaway and lie to mother!,dont utter to anyone,and most important didnt even try to inform Police ,try to search him.what went wrong here between them ?Of course Liquor also played a big roll.why others were sitting away from him and when friends ,sit together and discuss or share fun.just check their mobile if something can be traced.Definately they had some misunderstanding and was the reason to sit aside .God only knows.Heartfelt sympathy to the Family.and his Soul may find rest in peace.

    Police need to investigate further and question his friends who did not report the matter to anybody. strange something is not correct. if he had accidentally fallen after consuming liquor, they should have reported the matter immediately. May he rest in peace.
