Picnicking students drown at Sandspit!

SANA MAHMOOD

KARACHI: Death was lurking beneath the calm surface of ocean when, unaware of their fate, picnicking pupils from a private institute jumped into the foamy waters of Sandspit here today.  

Ali Ahmed Ashfaq, Hamza Siddique, Hamza Zafar & Muhammad Aijaz Azad were among those who lost their lives.  

It has been insinuated that the number of drowned students could be more than four.
