Mysuru: Two children drowned were while swimming in a lake at Manuganahalli village of Hunsur taluk on Friday.
The boys — Rahul, 12, and Nuthan, 14 — are said to have drowned in the lake, near which they grazed their cattle for sometime.
The duo, who left their houses in the morning to graze cattle, met a watery grave as the lake had huge pits due to illegal sand mining, police said.
As the children did not return home, their parents and relatives went in search of them, and found their clothes near the lake. They immediately informed the villagers and police, after which expert swimmers in the village fished out the bodies. Hunsur police have registered a case and are investigating.
