Bodies of man with burnt face and partially naked woman found at quarry outside Hyderabad

A man and a woman were found dead at a quarry outside Hyderabad on Tuesday, with his face disfigured by fire and her body partially naked. Police have started an investigation and do not rule out a possible sexual assault.

It was people who arrived at the place near Puppalaguda to watch the sunrise that discovered the bodies and alerted the Narsingi police. Several liquor bottles were also found at the spot.

The police examined CCTV footage from the area and identified the victims as Ankit Saket, 25, a housekeeping staffer from Madhya Pradesh, and Bindu, 25, a native of Chhattisgarh.

“We don’t know what their relationship was, what they were doing at this spot, or if any third person had attacked them,” an officer from the Narsingi police station said.
