Madikeri, Jul 1: In a tragic incident which happened in Unjigana Halli, Ganagur near Somwarpet in the district on Wednesday June 30 evening, two children who were having fun playing on a swing they had made by using their mother's saree, lost their lives.
The victims were Munishka (14) and Poornesh (12), children of Raju and Jayanthi. Raju works as a coolie.
When the incident happened, none else was at home. As the swing suddenly twisted and tightened around their necks, the children choked to death. The incident came to light when Ramanna, grandfather of the children, who had gone out for work, returned home. He immediately untied the saree and brought the children down, but by then, they were no more alive.
Police circle inspector Mahesh, sub-inspector Sridhar and other staff visited the spot, and registered a case.
