The four students – two boys and two girls aged 18-20, were studying at the nearby Novgorod State University in Veliky Novgorod city.
Local media reports said that a female Indian student, who waded out from the beach on the river Volkhov, got into trouble and four of her companions tried to save her.
In their attempt to save her, three others also drowned in the river.
A third boy was pulled to safety by local people.
“We are working to send the bodies to the relatives as soon as possible. Proper treatment is also being provided to the student whose life has been saved,” the Embassy of India in Moscow said on X.

“Sincere condolences to the bereaved families,” it posted on X.
The Consulate General said it was working together with the local authorities of Veliky Novgorod to send the mortal remains to the relatives as soon as possible.
