NAMCHI, 16 May: Two recently recruited IRBn personnel drowned in the Rangeet today. The day being extremely hot and sunny, three IRBn personnel are reported to have gone to the river for a swim near JNV Rothak, near the IRBn training centre at Pipaley, West Sikkim. The first one to enter the river was reportedly immediately swept away and his friend jumped in to rescue him, only to be swept away himself as well. The third friend then returned to the Centre and informed officials there about the incident. The dead bodies of 20 year old Dhan Bahadur Subba of Tingmoo and 21 year old Pem Tshering Lepcha of Lingmoo were recovered later in the day from the river.
