Police on Sunday morning recovered the bodies of a young man and a girl after they were found hanging from a tree at village Aradalua under the Mangalpur police station in Jajpur district.
The deceased were identified as Pratap Das (21) and Lipika Baral (18) of Aradula village.
Police registered an unnatural death case and sent the bodies for autopsy. “We suspect both made a suicide pact as they were not allowed by their families to marry. Police are investigating the case. We are also questioning the parents and other family members of the deceased,” said Mangalpur PS IIC Enamul Haque.
