NAVI MUMBAI: A picnic to the picturesque Diveaagar beach at Shrivardhan, Raigad district, turned into a tragedy when six employees of Reliance BPO drowned on Monday afternoon.

Fourteen BPO employees from the Koparkhairane-based Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge City (DAKC) had gone to Shrivardhan on Sunday evening. Around 12.30 pm on Monday, four men and two women from the group were unable to come back to the shore due to the high tide.

The Raigad police said the bodies of five victims—Manoj Parmar (35), Mohammed Nasir (35), Neelkanth Iyer (25), Kingston Paul and Mamata Nahak (25)—had been recovered. A search was still on for the sixth victim, Noor Mansuri, on Monday evening.
