Two bodies identified in Jalaun case

Meanwhile, the police claimed to have identified the two bodies recovered from the nullah as of two sisters, residents of a village under Jalaun police station.

A day after two missing teenage sisters resurfaced in Ghaziabad, the police on Thursday identified the decomposed bodies found in a sack near Orai in Jalaun district of Uttar Pradesh as those of two girls who were allegedly killed by their father for having relationship with youths despite disapproval of the family.

The minor sisters, who went missing on September 22, had resurfaced in Ghaziabad on Wednesday along with two persons — Gaurav Chaturvedi and Atul Gupta — who have been accused of kidnapping and murdering them. Gaurav is also accused of earlier abducting and raping the elder sister on August 29.

Ashutosh Pandey, IG (Kanpur Zone), told The Indian Express that the girls were now unwilling to return home, with the elder sister insisting that she wants to stay with Gaurav.

Meanwhile, the police claimed to have identified the two bodies recovered from the nullah as of two sisters, residents of a village under Jalaun police station. They have also taken into custody the girls’ father Jitendra for allegedly murdering them with help from his son-in-law Sonu and two others, who are absconding.

IG Pandey said the two sisters had eloped with two local youths early last month, but were detained by the Railway Police in Bhusawal, Maharashtra. Jitendra then brought her daughters home on September 9 and pressured them to discontinue their relationship with the boys. “On remaining unsuccessful in dissuading them, Jitendra, his son-in-law Sonu and two others killed them, put the bodies in a gunny bag, carried it a car and later dumped in the nullah (from where the bodies were recovered),” Pandey said.
