Baripada: Two engineering students of a polytechnic were reportedly killed in a bike mishap in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district on Tuesday.
According to sources, the two young boys, studying in SS Institute of Technology (Polytechnic) at Kalakad in the district, were going on a motorcycle to some unknown place.
The locals found both of them lying dead and their bike damaged on Thakurmunda-Kaptipada road under Karanjia police limits in the district.
On being informed by the locals, a police team from Karanjia went to the spot and sent the bodies for post-mortem.
