A tragic incident has shaken the Tarsambale village in Kolhapur's Radhanagari tehsil, where a young couple was discovered dead under distressing circumstances. The bodies of a 28-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl were found hanging from a single rope on a tree in a secluded forest area.
Discovery of the Bodies
The grim discovery was made on Friday in a forested spot roughly half a kilometre away from the main road. Gurunath Kamble, the police patil of Tarsambale village, received a phone call alerting him about the suicide. Upon rushing to the location near the Dhamod-Durgmanwad road to verify the information, he encountered the harrowing scene. He immediately informed the Radhanagari police station, prompting a swift response from the law enforcement officials.
Police Investigation and Initial Findings
Inspector Santosh Gore from Radhanagari police station provided crucial details about the case. The condition of the bodies indicated they had died at least three days prior to their discovery, with a foul smell permeating the vicinity. Medical officers from the Rashiwade primary health centre conducted an autopsy at the scene. Following the necessary procedures, the bodies were handed over to the grieving families for cremation.
While the investigation is ongoing, the police have pointed towards potential motives.
