18-year-old girl falls into the sea while trying to click a selfie in Bandra Bandstand

The 18-year-old college girl had come with her friends for a weekend picnic to Bandra Bandstand in Mumbai - they studied in different colleges. Unfortunately, while trying to click a selfie, the girl lost her balance and fell into the Arabian sea. She fell on the rocky beach and a local boy jumped in to save her - but, both are untraceable.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 9 January 2016.

The Indian Coast Guard has launched an aerial search to trace them.
It seems the 18-year-old girl was with her two friends and all of them slipped while clicking a selfie with their mobile phones. Once they fell, they began screaming and a local youth jumped into the rising tidal waters. He succeeded in rescuing two of them. Then he went after the third girl and, finally, both went missing.
Police, fire brigade and the fishing folk from Worli were helping in the search operation in the sea waters near the Rajiv Gandhi Bandra Worli Sea Link. An Indian Coast Guard helicopter also carried out sorties near Bandra Bandstand, opposite the Hotel Taj Lands End in the evening - the the high tide hampered both visibility and rescue operations.
The three girls were college students from Bainganwadi in the eastern suburb of Govandi. They studied in different colleges and had come for a weekend picnic to Bandra Bandstand, a favorite with tourists, picnickers and couples.
