Three boys lost their lives when they went for a dip at Bihar's Manjhar Kund waterfall on Monday.

According to the Darigaon Police, the three boys went for a picnic on their bicycles near the waterfall in the Kaimur Hills on Monday morning.

"Due to the rainy season, the water levels have been dangerously high. The boys went for a dip in the waterfall and got swept away by the water," an inspector of the police station told .

Out of the three deceased, two were residents of Fazalganj, and one was from Bhartiganj. They were between the ages of 16-17.

The police added that just five days ago, four boys were trapped in the same pool at the waterfall.

"Fortunately, police were present in the area and they were rescued. This happens every year but people keep coming here in the monsoon season," the inspector said.
