While on a survey of a spot where a 12-year-old boy had drowned a day earlier, Ambernath police rescued a minor girl on Thursday, who they believe was attempting suicide in the Javshai lake.

The 15-year-old however maintains that she had gone weak due to fasting during Navratri and she slipped into the lake. The rescue drama took place around 10.30 am, when a sub-inspector Ganeshwar Shete heard a girl screaming and rushed to the spot.
