Pavan Rathore (16), his brother Yogesh (14) and friend Suraj Kandara (17) were bathing in the canal when the three boys, one after the other, were swept away by a strong flow of water, Dhanraj Meena, SHO of Udohyog Nagar Police Station said.
“A search operation was initiated after the family members of the three boys informed police about the incident.
