Satpur area residents Prashant Katkade and Tanmay Chavan, both 16 years of age, along with another friend had gone for a swim near the Someshwar waterfall yesterday afternoon, an officer at Gangapur police station said.
The two boys failed to judge the depth of the water body and got washed away.
Their third friend who had not entered the water raised an alarm following which locals rushed to save the two boys, but in vain, he said.
The bodies were later fished out and sent for postmortem, he added.
