Barmer, July 20  

The bodies of a 30-year-old married woman and a 19-year-old man were found hanging from a tree in Rajasthan’s Barmer district on Friday, police said.

The victims were identified as Kamla and Devaram, they said.

Kamla was married for the last 12 years and had two children. She was allegedly having an affair with Devaram and their family members objected to it, Dhorimanna police station SHO Man Manth Arha said.

Devaram was a brother-in-law to Kamla, he said.

The duo had left their residence last night and their bodies were found hanging from a tree a few kilometres from their house, Arha said.

A case of suicide was registered and investigation in the matter underway, the SHO said, adding that the bodies were handed over to family members after postmortem. — PTI
