Virar resort owner, lifeguard held for negligence after boy dies in pool

MUMBAI: A week after a six-year-old boy died after drowning in the swimming pool of a resort in Virar, the owner and lifeguard were arrested by the police. They were later released on bail.

Aman Shaikh, a resident of Kurla had gone to Swagat resort in Arnala, Virar (west) with his mother and relatives on May 9.

At around 11am after Aman entered the pool, he drowned and died. His body was taken out by other picnickers who were in the pool.

The family alleged that the lifeguard Gopikishan Rathod was not present near the pool when the boy was drowning. Even after screams of help were raised Rathod was no where to be seen. The boy was taken to a local hospital where he was declared dead before arrival. The autopsy report stated death due to drowning.

The Arnala coastal police registered a case of accidental death. On May 16, the police arrested Rathod and the resort owner Bavtis Lopez for negligence.

The resort did not have first aid that can help revive victims of drowning. The resort was also found to be crowded beyond its capacity.

Rathod and Lopez were produced before the Vasai sessions court where they were released on bail.

Cases of drowning have been reported from resorts in Arnala but no stern action has been taken against resorts that flout the rules. A number of illegal resorts have mushroomed in Arnala which is a famous picnic spot.
