Reddy and Vaidya flew the motorglider for two rounds. After a while, the glider developed a snag and plunged into the sea at some distance from the beach.Local fishermen and expert swimmers managed to rescue the instructor. Reddy, however, got entangled with the rope as the glider dragged him below the water.
