Six teens from Malwani had visited Marve creek on Sunday evening and two of them entered the water to play. Despite the efforts of their friends to save them, the two — Mohsin Wahid Shah, 18 and Mohammed Ashraf Choudhary, 14 drowned. They were rushed to a nearby hospital where they were declared dead.
