The lure of unguarded waters proved costly for a young boy, who allegedly drowned in the swimming pool of a Borivli school on Saturday after jumping in it to take a swim. The 10-year-old had sneaked into the premises along with his friends to fetch a cricket ball, and police have registered a case against the school authorities and the watchman.
