VISAKHAPATNAM: A leisure trip turned tragic for two families after two youth went missing while swimming at Revupolavaram beach under S Rayavaram police limits in the district on Sunday.
The victims have been identified as Prem Singh (22) and Yakub Khan (21). The cops have launched a search operation with the help of local fishermen.
According to sources, two families from Darlapudi went to the beach to enjoy the day and four youth from both the families went for a swim.
