The incident passed off on the small Aare-Ware Beach near Devrukh in Ratnagiri once they were en path to famed Ganpatipule.
Apparently ignoring Met warnings, the victims ventured into the choppy waters, however were trapped in a surprising whirlpool that built up at an intersection within the Arabian Sea and a creek along the beach.
Their bodies were likely to reach Mumbai on Monday for the final rites in Borivali West's IC Colony which plunged right into a pall of gloom.
