Tributes have been paid to two university students who died after falling off the edge of a waterfall while taking a selfie.
Jitendranath Karuturi, 26, and Chanhakya Bolisetti, 22, were pulled from the water at the Linn of Tummel waterfall in Perth and Kinross on Wednesday evening.
The pair had been taking a photo of themselves at the Scottish Highland beauty spot when they toppled over the edge into the water.
They were then reportedly swept away, witnessed by a friend who was with them on their walk.
The students were studying for a master’s degree in data science and engineering at the University of Dundee.
A spokesman for the university said: ‘This has been a tragic accident which has shocked us all, and our thoughts are with the families and friends of the students.
