A 17-year-old girl from Tumkur in Karnataka drowned in the swimming pool of a hotel near Colva beach in South Goa district today.
The incident happened this morning when the girl and her two sisters entered the pool for a swim.
"Zeba Sayyed (17) drowned, while her younger sisters -- Javeria Sayyed and Umraz Suda -- were rescued by the people who were around the pool," a police officer said.
Javeria and Umraz were admitted to Goa Medical College and Hospital near here and their condition was said to be critical.
