India has been witnessing a steady increase in tourism and foreign travel with more and more foreign population showing interest in travelling to the country for the diverse experience. So it is responsibility of the authorities to make sure that the tourism industry is secure and stable in nature.
But what has happened in Bengaluru has absolutely shocked the international community as a couple of foreign travellers have sadly died after getting electrocuted in a private hotel pool.
This incident happened while a bunch of foreign travellers were swimming in the pool at one of the luxury hotels in Bengaluru.
The deceased have been identified as Alexander Maximilian Theiss (57), a German national, and Juraj Horvat (45), a Slovakian national. The injured have been identified as Mathew Desantis (41), an American national, and Rahul Tiwari (28), a hotel employee working as a lifeguard and pool attendant.
The incident reportedly occurred at the swimming pool deck on the third floor of this popular hotel in Halasuru.
According to preliminary information, the two foreign nationals were in the swimming pool when they were apparently exposed to an electrical current in the water. The power supply was far to powerful for them to sustain, and they got immediately electrocuted.
This incident has shocked the locals and it could have a significant impact on the international travel in India as people could grow suspicious of the safety standards. The police have registered a complaint and investigating the case on priority.
