Family members have said they committed suicide over some dispute. Police are looking into the matter, the SP said.
Jakhora SHO Avadh Narayan Pande said the brother of the deceased informed police that there was a dispute between the two as Harsh Kumari was insisting on going to her parents’ house. Both had set out on foot in the afternoon.
