YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, popular as BeerBiceps on social media, shared a harrowing experience he and his girlfriend faced while swimming in Goa. The couple was swept away by an underwater current and had to be rescued by an IPS officer and his IRS officer wife.
Allahbadia recounted the incident on Instagram, revealing that what began as a casual swim in the open sea quickly turned into a life-threatening situation. He described struggling against the current for about 10 minutes before beginning to lose consciousness. The officer and his wife swimming nearby noticed the couple struggling and immediately rescued them.
“We’re perfectly fine and well now. But yesterday at 6:00 pm or so, my girlfriend and I had to be rescued from a bit of a situation,” he wrote in this post. “A casual, fun dip in the waves was interrupted by an underwater current that toppled both of us. The next thing we knew was that we were both struggling to stay afloat,” the post read.
The YouTuber explained that at one point he swallowed so much water and it was then he decided to seek help. “There was a point during the ordeal where I swallowed a lot of water and started fading away a little bit. That’s when I decided to shout for help,” he wrote.
Thanking the IPS officer and his IRS officer, Allahbadia wrote, “Deep gratitude to the family of the IPS officer husband and IRS officer wife who saved us both. This experience left us feeling both blank as well as grateful. We felt the protection of God throughout the incident.”
