The deceased have been identified as Tasheel (21), son of Mohammad Rafique of Falnir and Prineeta Suvarna who  hailed from Karwar but resided at her grandmother’s house at Balmatta. It has been gathered that just as Tasheel who was driving the car lost control over the vehicle, the car veered to the extreme side of the road before plunging into the river. The mishap is learnt to have taken place  while Tasheel tried to overtake another vehicle.

 The bodies were retrieved after breaking open the  glasses as  the car doors which were centrally locked could not be opened. The sand workers and locals assisted the police fire service personnel in retrieving the bodies. The car was removed later with the help of a crane.

The deceased Tasheel was into business while Prineeta was doing PUC course through correspondence.
