A 33-year-old Russian national on a visit to Goa drowned in the Arabian Sea while his woman partner was rescued by locals, police said on Monday.

The incident took place on Sunday at Morjim beach in North Goa district.

Russian national Dimitri Lvov (33) was holidaying in North Goa along with his partner Irina Rudemko (28). They ventured into the waters at the Morjim beach at around 5 am, a senior police official said.

Both of them got pulled into the waters due to strong undercurrents, he said.

Some locals saved the woman, but Lvov drowned, the official said.

The body was later recovered by lifeguards, the police added. PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
