Five engineering students drowned at an abandoned quarry at Chikkajala, off Ballari Road, on Thursday afternoon. The students were part of an eight-member group - all fourth-semester students of electrical and communication at Revana Siddeshwara Engineering College, Chikkajala - who had gone for a swim at the prohibited quarry.
The students were fascinated by photographs on social media. On Thursday, the group walked to the quarry, just 3 km from their college, and reached the place around 12.30pm.
By Thursday evening, police recovered the bodies of Arun Chandra Shetty, Khem Patalim, Nanda Kumar KR and Rajesh Karan Lamba, all 19. The body of Harish A is yet to be recovered.
