An incident occurred in Gudlapally, Nalgonda on Sunday when a man drowned while taking a selfie in the Dindi project.
Mahesh, 22, a resident of SR Nagar in Hyderabad, was identified as the victim. Five of his friends and he visited the Srisailam temple. As they were returning home from work on September 10, the incident occurred.
They stopped at the Dindi project to spend some time there. The victim took selfies close to the water before he slipped. Mahesh’s friends called the police, who launched a search operation with the locals and screamed for help.
