Bodies Found in Faridabad Canal with Hands Tied; Investigation UnderwayPreviousNext

The bodies of Akash (23) and Rashmi (27) were found in Faridabad's Agra Canal with their hands tied by a data cable and facial injuries. Rashmi's abandoned car, containing two mobile phones and a blood-stained hammer, was found nearby. Police registered an FIR after a harassment complaint against Akash and are investigating whether the deaths resulted from drowning or blunt force trauma. Akash's brother-in-law alleges a conspiracy and murder, while authorities await post-mortem and forensic reports to clarify the cause and sequence of events.
