The horse tenders and vendors at the beach also tried to stop the youngsters from going into what appears to be "shallow waters", but they did not listen, a Murud policeman told TOI. "Some of the students who had ventured a little too far from the shore were caught in the receding tidal waters and swept away," another cop said.

"Last year in July, six persons from Chembur had drowned on this same beach while they were here on a picnic. The warning signboards are of no use as the picnickers enter the seawater without realizing how treacherous these parts of the beach are," said Murud resident Ashok S, who was on the beach during the tragedy.
