Mumbai: In a tragic accident, two siblings hailing from Haripad in Kerala's Alappuzha district drowned in a pond while bathing their pet dog on Sunday.

Dr Ranjith Ravindran (23) and Kirti Ravindran (17) drowned in a pond at Davdi in Dombivli East. Ranjith is a house surgeon at a hospital in Navi Mumbai and Keerthi just completed her class 12.

They are the children of Ravindran and Deepa, who are residents of Saicharan Building in Umesh Nagar, Dombivli West, Mumbai. Their parents were in Kerala for receiving medical treatment at the time of the incident.

Reportedly Kirti lost her footing and fell into the pond and Ranjith jumped into the water to save his sister. The fire brigade that arrived at scene later found the bodies after a long search. The bodies will be brought to Kerala on Monday after autopsy.
