Two men who went with their friends to a party at a local hotel on Friday died after drowning in a swimming pool.

The pool was allegedly being illegally operated against the norms by the hotel on Pataudi-Haily Mandi road.

According to the police, four friends Rajesh, Sher Singh, Mehar Chand and Bhajan Lal, who work as daily wagers, went to a party at local Deep Hotel.

All men had a couple of rounds of drinks and then got into the pool made in the backyard of the hotel.

Owing to their inebriated state, 32-year-old Rajesh and 40-year-old Sher Singh reportedly went deeper and slipped and they started drowning.

The other two claimed that they tried to help and raised alarm but by the time they were pulled out by the staff they had already died.

The police have reached spot and taken the bodies into their custody and informed families.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
