Four women drowned after the car they were travelling in fell into Visvesvaraya Canal in Mandya district of Karnataka, police said on Sunday. The incident happened on Saturday night near Gamanahalli in Srirangapatna taluk of the district, and those dead have been identified as Mahadevamma and her relatives Sanjana, Maadevi and Rekha.

Agriculture Minister N Cheluvarayaswamy and Social Welfare Minister H C Mahadevappa met the family members of the women.
Mahadevappa said Rs 2 lakh compensation will be given to the family of the women.
According to police, prima facie it looks like the car was on its way to Doddamulgoodu from Gamanahalli when the driver might have lost control of the vehicle at a turning, and accidentally rammed the car into a temporary ironclad wall of the canal, following which it fell into the canal.
They said the bodies have been fished out from the canal. A case has been registered and an investigation is on.
