Prateek Singhal and Utkarsh Arya, both aged 22 years and final year students of B.Tech at Ajay Kumar Garg Institute of Engineering and Technology, drowned in a swimming pool of Chander Nagar Recreation Club last night.
Singhal is from Mathura and Arya from Allahabad.
Secretary of the Club Committee Ajay Singh said that last night Singhal and Arya along with four other friends had come to the club for a swimming bout.
At about 8:50 PM, as other swimmers vacated the pool, the lifeguard on duty noticed the duo lying immobile in the waters.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Atul Yadav said autopsy is being conducted by Delhi Police.
"We are waiting for the autopsy report to come. No case has yet been registered so far," Yadav said.
