According to the police, three youths living in Nat Mohalla of Nai Basti Gandhi Nagar had reached the pond bank behind Holi Family School for picnic at around 12 noon on Wednesday. The three youths sat on the bank and first had breakfast and water and then started taking bath on the bank of the pond.
