In a devastating incident, four Indians, including two women, lost their lives in a drowning incident at Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia. The tragedy unfolded on an unpatrolled beach, marking the worst drowning incident in Victorian waters in nearly two decades. Emergency services responded to reports of four individuals struggling in the water near Newhaven, and despite rescue efforts, all were found unconscious and unresponsive.

Kane Treloar, the state agency commander of Life Saving Victoria, reported that lifeguards and rescue boats were dispatched to the scene. Off-duty lifeguards and rescue teams pulled three individuals from the water, and despite resuscitation attempts, three victims tragically succumbed to the incident. The names of the victims have not been disclosed by authorities.

Expressing condolences, the Indian High Commission in Canberra posted on X, “Heartbreaking tragedy in Australia: 4 Indians lost their lives in a drowning incident at Phillip Island, Victoria. Deepest condolences to the families of the victims. @cgimelbourne team is in touch with friends of the deceased for all necessary assistance @MEAIndia @DrSJaishankar.”
