3 Friends Go Swimming But 19YO Drowns While Friends Look On & Take Videos

Many times, most of us would consider our friends to be the closest ones to us. Sure, we may be close to our family, but our friends are just different.

There are virtually no barriers between both of you and you are able to rely on them for anything, especially when you guys are really true best friends.

But how would you know that the ones around you are your true friends? Sure, everything may seem all rosy when things are going well. But what if something bad happens? Will they still stand by you?

Will you be able to trust them with your life?

Sadly, one 19-year-old couldn’t.

A Day Out For 3 Teens, Only 2 Return Home

It was 15 November and 19-year-old Jaffer Ayub decided to take a swim at the quarry in Kalburgi, Karnataka along with his two friends.

Instead of testing the waters first, Ayub confidently dived in first while his friends took a video of his form.

All was fun and Ayub swam a few metres away from the riverbank.

Ayub started to swim towards the riverbank and his friends, but they realised that he looked like he had already exhausted all his energy because he lost his grip of the shore. He was then submerged underwater for a while as he started to struggle and panic because he realised that he couldn’t breathe properly.

According to UNILAD, one of his friends reached his hand out to Ayub as an attempt to pull him in, but for reasons undisclosed, he pulled it back afterwards, leaving Ayub to continue fighting the waters alone.

The friend who was initially recording continues to capture the scenes that unfold and as Ayub continues to keep his head above water, they just looked on in silence. Another group of women was also said to be at the scene, but they didn’t offer help either as they watched on.

Why?

Ayub starts to get even more tired and eventually stops surfacing to the top, and his body becomes completely submerged in the water. It was only then that the two friends reacted to his disappearance.

They tried to fish around the water for him and pulled him up onto the riverbank but it was already too late.

Ayub had drowned.

Investigations

Police investigations are currently ongoing and they believe that the two boys may have been “too terrified to help” which was why they looked on without doing anything. It is also believed that they were so shocked that they couldn’t comprehend what was going on in time.

They may have been terrified to help, but why did one of his friends pull his hand back before Ayub could grab a hold of him?

Nevertheless, it is absolutely sad that Ayub had to lose his life this way. His last memory of having a good day with friends turned out to be a struggle against the waters while his friends looked on.

I’m sure that his friends are also feeling guilty about being too shocked to do anything.

We extend our deepest condolences to Ayub’s family and hope that they can recover from this trying time.
