I suggest you use a HiddenField inside template field use FindControl to find this field.

ie:

ASPX

Code behind

protected void gvAttachments_RowDeleting(object sender, GridViewDeleteEventArgs e)
    {
        GridView gv1 = (GridView)sender;
        GridViewRow gvr1 = (GridViewRow)gv1.Rows[e.RowIndex];

        //get hidden field value and not directly from the GridviewRow, as that will be null or empty!
        HiddenField hf1 = (HiddenField)gvr1.FindControl("hfFname");
        if (hf1 != null)
        {
           ..
        }
    }
