According to the officer, all the four boys had left their homes at 5 am for a morning walk to a nearby park. They went to Sur Ghat for a swim in the Yamuna river after leaving the park. Since some construction work related to Delhi Metro Rail was going on there, the boys walked further and jumped into the river.
