Two unidentified bodies were reportedly found floating in the Handri Neeva Sujala Sravanthi (HNSS) canal near Pothulakunta village in kothacheruvu mandal of Sri Sathya Sai district on Saturday evening.
The villagers who noticed the bodies in the canal alerted the police. However, police said the bodies could not be recovered immediately due to strong water flow in the canal.
According to the police, the bodies of a man and a woman were seen drifting towards a stretch near the Sri Sathya Sai Prashanthi Nilayam railway station. Police suspect the dead could be a married couple, but authorities said that could only be confirmed after the bodies were found and identified.
Meanwhile, police officers have been deployed at the spot and efforts are on to retrieve the bodies. A case has been registered and further investigation is underway.
