A video of the incident that went viral on social media shows several tourists taking videos at the Salalah Al Mughsail beach amidst strong waves. Shreya (9) and Shreyas (6) who were playing at the beach were swept away while Shashikant Mhamane tried to save them. People nearby are heard screaming and some were seen rushing to save them but the wave had already taken them further.
