Bengaluru: A 17-year-old student of National College Jayanagar, drowned at Ravugodlu village.

The youth has been identified as G Vishwas.

Around 24 students from National Cadet Corps (NCC) had been to the village which is off Kanakapura Road, and stayed overnight at the Gunda Anjaneya temple.

On Sunday morning, they set out on a trek to a hill in Ravugodlu. They came down around 2 pm. About a dozen students then went to the temple kalyani (stepped tank) to swim.

The tank is about 10 feet deep, and Vishwas, who did not know swimming, joined the group.

His friends were busy playing in the water and taking selfies when Vishwas drowned in the tank.

His parents have blamed the college authorities for their son’s death. They said the NCC coordinator did not pay attention to students’ safety during the trip. There was tension at the college on Monday afternoon when the parents staged a protest.

The Kaggalipura police have recorded the parents’ statement and started an investigation.
