BHOPAL : The bodies of a girl and a boy were found in a farm in Hanupur Village within the limits of Mohangarh police station in Tikamgarh district on Thursday morning. Both were cousins.

The girl was to be married on Thursday night. Police suspect the involvement of family members in the murder. The deceased boy had just been released from Lalitpur jail According to Mohangarh police, the deceased were identified as Chandrabhan Singh, 22 and Badi Bai, 19, both residents of Hanupur. They were shot at point blank range in the chest. SP Tikamgarh Nimish Agrawal, talking to Free Press, said that the prime suspects in the dual murder case were the family members. The family members of the girl in their statements to the police said that the girl had gone to sleep at the farm along with cousin Chandrabhan.

The family of the deceased has a criminal background. All the family members were arrested under Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS) and were released some time back. Deceased Chandrabhan was arrested on charges of shooting at police officials in Lalitpur and was released on bail a few days ago. Investigations are on and it is yet not clear to term the deaths as honour killing but the primary suspects are family members as no girl would be sent to sleep in a farm a day before marriage. The girl was said to having an affair with a local boy also. Police is investigating the matter.
