According to officials of Chiloda police station, the incident came to light around 8:30 am when local residents spotted two bodies hanging from a tree near a government borewell and alerted authorities. A police team rushed to the spot and began a preliminary inquiry.
Details of the Deceased
The deceased, believed to be in their 40s, were found hanging from the same tree with a saree. Police said the duo were known to each other and were allegedly in a relationship.
