Goa: A tragic incident has come to light from Goa. A 33-year-old man from Karnataka died after being swept away by powerful waves while sitting on rocks at Baga Beach in north Goa, officials said on Wednesday.
A video of the incident has gone viral on social media. The clip captures the chilling moment the tragedy unfolded. The tourist can be seen sitting on a rock along the shoreline, seemingly unaware of the danger, when a massive wave generated by rough monsoon seas suddenly crashes over him and drags him into the water. As he struggles against the turbulent waves and powerful currents, he is swept farther out to sea, unable to regain his footing or make it back to shore.
The deceased was identified as Sahas Ashpak Masali, a resident of Karnataka's Bijapur district, and was a tourist in Goa.
According to initial information, despite immediate efforts to trace him, he was carried away by the powerful currents.
Search and rescue operation
Reportedly, authorities launched a search and rescue operation shortly after the incident. After several hours of searching, rescue teams recovered his body from the shoreline.
Safety warning for tourists
In the aftermath of the tragedy, officials once again urged tourists to stay away from rocks along the coastline and refrain from entering the sea during high tide or periods of rough weather. They warned that powerful waves can strike without warning, making rocky coastal areas particularly dangerous.
