Mystery shrouded the missing act of two high school students whose school bags were recovered from Sasanewadi canal bank in Hadapsar yesterday. Family members are left to grapple in the dark, as the police could not trace the girls even after 24 hours. Priyanka Kailas Ovhal (17) and Komal Suresh Pawar (18), residents of Samarth Nagar in MHADA colony, left the house to write their last HSC paper in the afternoon on Monday but never returned.

After initiating a search by parents, the girls' sacks were recovered near the canal, raising suspicion that the duo might have committed suicide. Or so it seems.

Misleading cops?
The police say the initial investigation suggests that the girls were not stressed. They are considering whether the girls deliberately left their sacks on the banks to delude the police and family. The Hadapsar Fire station officials were also summoned at Sasane Nagar canal to search for the bodies. But despite searching for
three hours, nothing was found.
