Karkala, Aug 15: A 19-year-old youth lost his life while taking a selfie at famous Arbi Falls near here on Thursday, August 15. 

Sudesh Moolya, son of Krishna Moolya from Bola, is the person deceased. He was an electrician by profession. 

As per the details available, four friends had gone to Arbi Falls for picnic. Sudesh and Bharat fell down into water while talking a selfie. Bharat knew swimming and hence managed to survive. But Sudesh drowned in the water. 

It is said that Bharat tried his best to save Sudesh. But due to heavy force of water, he could not accomplish the task. 

The body is yet to be found. Police and Fire Brigade are in search operation. 

Some sources said that the friends might have gone to Arbi Falls after consuming liquor. 

The police have registered a case. 

Though hundreds of visitors come to Arbi Falls, there is no single signboard there to warn about the dangers at the place. The continuous rains have made the place more dangerous for visitors.

    This selfie craze has taken lives both young and old. Yet many idiots don't understand the danger they are facing when taking selfies at dangerous spots and heights. I hope his body is found as soon as possible.

    It is necessary to make understand these youngsters that when there is continuous downpour there is a tendency to grow algae or fungus on any rocks or soil. It is not visible sometimes as it is green in color and people think it is grass.!! But very dangerous

    Does this gang of around 20 year old boys need a signboard to warn about the dangers at Arbi Falls?
    In Malpe beach, there were umpteen hoarding, a fence and life guards warning against getting into the sea during early monsoon. Yet, drunkards violated all those braches!
