Bengaluru: A three-and-a-half-year-old boy drowned in the swimming pool of a resort in Ramanagara Monday afternoon. The victim is Lan Ghongindhanj Dhongloi , whose parents, Luminlen Chongloi and Tracy, are from Manipur and work in private firms in Bengaluru.
Police said around 50 Manipuris had come to Ravishing Retreat resort located on Machanabele Road in Harisandra Monday morning. They had opted for a ‘day in-day out’ package.
A police officer said: “Post-lunch, there was a group photo session near one of the swimming pools. Dhongloi, who was playing nearby, went near the pool and accidentally slipped in.
