Five boys, all aged between 12 to 15-year-old were washed away into the sea on June 12. Out of the five boys, one boy was rescued by local fishermen before the arrival of the Mumbai Fire Brigade. Four boys were later reported to be missing
The group of boys had travelled much ahead into the sea and five of them ventured into the tidal waves off Juhu Koliwada. The rough sea waves, created by Cyclone Biparjoy, swept four boys into the sea
The police had recovered the bodies of the four boys who had drowned. They were identified as Jay Roshan Tachpariya, 15, Dharmesh Valji Bhojaiya, 16, and brothers Manish Yogesh Oganiya, 12, and Shubham Yogesh Oganiya, 15, all residents of Datta Mandir Road in Vakola, Santacruz East
The authorities had already warned people and fishermen against venturing into the sea because of the rough conditions ahead of the landfall of Cyclone Biparjoy on the Gujarat coast on June 15
