A 21-year-old man drowned in Vasai's Suruchibaug beach on Sunday. The alleged incident took place after the deceased and five of his friends went for a swim. While the five friends were rescued by locals, the body of the deceased, identified as Ganesh Khot, was recovered on Monday.

According to police sources, the group of friends entered the sea during high tide after drinking alcohol at the beach. Within a few minutes of stepping into the sea, Khot disappeared due to the strong currents. After the five friends were rescued, they informed the police that Khot was missing, reports Hindustan Times.
