The authorities identified one of them as Madan Mohan Sutradhar, 25, a construction worker who resided in the capital's Vatara.

The identity of the other victim could not be determined immediately but it is believed he was aged 22.

The bodies were retrieved from the Khilkhet and Ashkona crossings over a five-hour span on Monday, according to the police.
