The students were identified as Anshuman Shukla (17), a resident of Gonda district in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh and Sachin Pundir (18), who hailed from Sahaspur near Dehradun. The duo was swept away by the strong currents of the Tons when they were taking bath in it under Chandroti bridge near the Robbers Cave, the sources said.
