The students were identified as Sai Kumar, (15), a student of government high school of Korpole village and Sai Kiran, (15), studying class X at the Shivampet government high school.
According to ASI Prabhakar of Pulkal Police Station, Sai Kumar and Sai Kiran along with a group of friends went to enjoy a bathe in the Manjeera River adjacent to Korpole village after celebrating the Holi.
