The incident occurred at around 3:30 a.M when Ashtray Dutta and his three male friends entered the sea while the women members of the group waited on the beach.
However, he was pulled in by a strong wave while his friends raised an alarm and informed the police.
"Dutta had come to Goa for vacation along with his friends. They all were staying in a hotel near Candolim beach,' Calangute Police Inspector Jivba Dalvi told reporters here.
