Sources said the two left for Cuttack on a motorcycle last night. The one that was riding the two-wheeler lost control over the vehicle, following which it fell into a 20-feet deep pond near Kabirpur. However, no passerby could realize about the mishap due to darkness. Today morning, some locals found a helmet floating in the pond and a bike near the pond and immediately raised an alarm.
