Discovery and Initial Response
ASP (Rural) Karndeep Singh stated that villagers alerted the police on Thursday afternoon after spotting the bodies on a field ridge along the Brahmankheda road.
While the case initially appeared to be an accident, severe head injuries on both victims indicated murder. The bodies were sent for postmortem examination to Mahidpur Hospital and were handed over to the families on Friday.
