MYSURU: A group of youths apparently saved a college girl from drowning near Chunchanakatte Falls in Krishnarajanagar, 45 km away from Mysuru.

Though the incident happened on December 20, it came to light recently after footage of their rescue operation was recorded on a mobile camera by one of the youths. It went viral after it was circulated.

However, there has been no official record about the incident as the matter never reached police.

The 19-year-old girl, who was rescued, was unconscious at the time and admitted to hospital. The girl's parents too didn't want the issue publicized. Adarsha, one of the four rescuers, said they found the girl struggling to get out of swirling waters near the Chunchanakatte Falls, a popular tourist destination.

"We went to her rescue and after 20 minutes were able to pull her out. Three of her friends said she slipped while posing for a photo and fell down. They were shouting for help when we arrived," he said, adding he only knew the girls were students from Mysuru.

Adarsha, Harsha, Arjun and Srikanth, all college students from Krishnarajanagar, were involved in the rescue operation. Adarsha claimed they were not aware of the girl's personal details but had shifted her to hospital.
