Two IT professionals from Bengaluru drowned in a beach near Gokarna in Uttara Kannada on Sunday, while another one has gone missing.

They entered the sea waters in the morning but were caught in the strong waves. Twentytwo-year-old Shobha Das of Jamshedpur and Mohammad Akram from Bengaluru drowned.

Fishermen and locals brought them to the shore and shifted them to a hospital in Gokarna. Shobha Das died in the hospital, while Akram died on the way to a hospital in Manipal.

Twentyfour-year-old Vishwa A.K., who has gone missing, is yet to be traced.
