Three medical students from Karnataka were drowned on Sunday after being swept away while swimming in the sea off Payyambalam Beach, Kannur.
&nbsp;
The young men, identified as Afnan, Rahanudeen, and Afraz, were all studying at a medical college in Bengaluru and were staying as guests at a nearby resort. They had arrived in Kannur on Saturday with a group of five friends.
&nbsp;
The incident occurred around 11 am, with reports suggesting the trio were caught by strong currents while bathing. It is suspected they became trapped in a whirlpool. Their friends swiftly raised the alarm, immediately alerting onlookers and the authorities.
&nbsp;
Despite a rapidly launched rescue operation, the young men sadly succumbed to the sea. Police have since confirmed that all three bodies have been recovered.
