| Amritsar, Aug 2: Two children drowned in the holy pond of Gurudwara (Sikh shrine) Kaulsar in this Punjab city, police said today.
Sonu, 9, and Sanju, 11, had come to take a dip in the pond with a group of friends on Sunday evening.
"Sonu slipped into the sarovar (holy pond) and to save him Sanju also jumped in. Both of them drowned," Lakhbir Singh, investigating the case, told media.
"After a prolonged search operation, police divers have fished out the bodies, which were handed over to the family members," he said.
