The incident occurred near Lar village, about 30 km from the Tikamgarh district headquarters, when two brothers, aged five and eight years, were playing near the Ur river while their parents were working in an agriculture field, said Jatara police station in-charge Arvind Singh Dangi.

The children were declared brought dead by doctors at Jatara Community Health Centre, he said.
A case has been registered, and further investigation is underway.
