The family members of the duo thought they had stayed back at Medaram as it was raining. As they did not return home even after 24 hours and their phones were switched off, the family members lodged a missing complaint at Bodu police station on Monday.

The police with the help of expert swimmers searched for them and found their bodies on the shore of the stream at Chintakunta in the mandal.
