A college student drowned in a lake as his friends took a group selfie
from just a few feet away - apparently oblivious to what was happening.
Vishwas G, from Bangalore, died on Sunday while out for a picnic with his pals. A shocking image has emerged showing his friends grinning into the camera as one took the selfie - said to also show his head bobbing on the surface of the water in the background.
Vishwas' grieving family later sat with his body outside the National College, where he was a student, in the Jayanagar area of Bangalore, in protest at his death.
They claimed lecturers in charge of the trip had been negligent but called off the action after management promised an investigation and disciplinary action against any member of staff found to be culpable.
