Two 14-year-old twins, missing since Saturday evening, were found dead in a temple pond at Chittur near here on Sunday (November 2, 2025). Raman and Laxman, the Kashi Viswanathan twins living near Chittur Kavu, were presumed to have drowned.
Nine standard students of Government Boys Higher Secondary School, Chittur, Raman and Laxman were missing since 7 pm on Saturday. Despite a massive search by local residents on Saturday night, they could not be traced.
Laxman’s body was discovered in the Lankeswaram Siva Temple pond on Sunday morning, prompting a search that later led to the recovery of Raman’s body.
They were believed to have entered the pond after offering prayers at the temple on Saturday around 6pm. Their electric scooter was found abandoned by a pond on Sunday morning.
The police suspected that the boys, who did not know how to swim, might have entered the pond to fish. The bodies were handed over to the family after post-mortem at the Government District Hospital on Sunday afternoon.
