A group of students from the steel city here had gone for picnic when the victims stepped in the river to have a bath, the police said.

As they did not know how to swim, they were washed away under the strong current of water, sources said adding that the bodies were fished out by the locals after the students screamed for help.

Both the victims - Sambhav Kumar and Navin Kumar - were about to appear for class-XII final board examination beginning from next month.
