The victims have been identified as Bidhan Biswas and his son Uttam Biswas from the Baliguda area in the district.
According to sources, the incident took place when Bidhan and Uttam had gone to Chilika Lake on Sunday night for fishing. The bodies were recovered near Kalijugeswar hill inside the lake near Balugoan in Khurda district on Monday.
