Two young men drowned Wednesday in Khairbandha dam near here in east Maharashtra, police said.
The incident occurred around 1 pm after Krishnakumar Arre (18) and Dharmendra Lilhare (21), along with their friend, entered the water for bathing though they didn't know how to swim, they said.
According to police, Arre and Lilhare got trapped in the water current and drowned.
However, their friend survived as he had come out of water to attend a nature's call.
After the youth raised alarm, villagers rushed to the spot, but couldn't save the duo, police said.
A case of accidental death has been registered and further investigation is underway.
