A British tourist, Vijay Tulshidas Daswani, 72, tragically drowned at Talpona Beach in Goa on Friday evening. Daswani, who was visiting India with his wife, was swept out to sea shortly after 6 p.m. by a powerful wave.
According to Harish Raut Dessai, a police officer from Canacona police station, the couple was caught by the strong current and dragged away from shore.

Dessai reported that the police were notified about the incident at 6:13 p.m. on Friday. “A 72-year-old man named Vijay Tulshidas Daswani was brought in deceased following a drowning at Talpona Beach. Both he and his wife were pulled from the sea by lifeguards, but Mr. Daswani was declared dead at the Community Health Centre Talpona.”
