Two boys of a family drowned in a water tank at Gandhinagar area near Suryapet on Wednesday evening. The deceased have been identified as D.Sai Krishna (12) and his brother D.Sandeep (14).
According to Suryapet rural police, the local children quite often enter a mango garden to play in a massive water tank. The two boys studying in Class seven and Class 9 in a local private school entered the orchard, but drowned in the tank since they did not know swimming. As no one was present in the vicinity, a passerby saw the floating bodies in the tank a couple of hours after the incident.
A case has been registered.
