Emergency workers were searching for the bodies of at least 10 people in India Saturday who went missing in two separate drowning incidents that left 27 others dead, police said. The bodies of two children were among the missing after a dinghy capsized late Friday in a small village lake in southern Andhra Pradesh state, leaving 13 people dead. Six among the dead were children, police said.

Police said the boat sank due to overcrowding when 17 passengers hired the dinghy for a joy ride after attending a function in the Anantapur district. More than ten bodies were fished out from the lake, state health Minister Kamineni Srinivas told reporters. Two girls were rescued by locals, police said. While in eastern India's West Bengal state, scores of divers and speed boats were trying to find the bodies of eight people in Hoogly river after dozens of passengers were swept away following the collapse of a jetty on Wednesday. Eleven bodies were retrieved from the river on Friday as anxious relatives and villagers continued to gather at the banks of the river. Three bodies were found on Wednesday.
