Prakash and Murali, 12-year-old twin sons of an eatery owner K. Mohesh Achari of Saptagirinagar, who are feared drowned in the KC Canal in Kurnool, were yet to be traced by Tuesday evening.
Monesh Achari and Padmavathi of Vandagallu village in Kosigi mandal, had settled down in Saptagiri Nagar in Kurnool six years ago and their twin sons were studying in fourth standard in Sri Chaitanya School near Central Plaza here.
In a complaint lodged with Kurnool III Town police on Monday evening, Achari said his twin sons were missing since Monday afternoon, when they had an afternoon nap. The boys had earlier expressed the desire to go for a swim in KC Canal, which received water inflow, but he turned down their request.
As the boys were missing when they woke up, the parents and relatives launched a search and found the clothes of the twins on the banks of the KC Canal.
Two teams of fire personnel launched a search, but were yet to trace the whereabouts of the twin boys.
