Siddapur, May 02, 2026: A tragic incident occurred on Friday at Husuru Dam near Halageri in Siddapur taluk, where a young man drowned while washing his cattle. The deceased has been identified as Ravikiran Suresh Naik (24), a resident of Ambalike village.

Incident Details: After finishing agricultural work on Friday afternoon, Ravikiran took his cattle to the dam for a wash, as was his daily routine. During this, the rope tied around the cow’s neck unexpectedly got entangled in his leg. As the animal moved into deeper waters, the force dragged him under, and unable to untie the rope, he drowned.

Rescue Operation: Local fire brigade personnel initially conducted a search, but it yielded no results. Later, the Shree Marikamba Life Guard team from Sirsi, led by swimming expert Gopala Gowda, arrived at the scene and conducted an intensive search operation. They successfully retrieved the body around 8:00 PM.

CPI J.B. Sitaram visited the spot to gather information. A case has been registered at the Siddapur Police Station, and the bereaved family is in deep mourning following the tragedy.
