Two men, Deepak Pandey (30) and Ankit Kamal (28), were discovered deceased in the Pandu canal in Kanpur's Sachendi area on Tuesday.

The bodies have been sent for postmortem examinations, and further actions will be determined following the autopsy reports and any formal complaints filed by the families.
