"When we received information of an incident of two girls being found hanging from a tree, we immediately reached the site to investigate. We found that the two girls, one 18 years old and the other 15 years old, were both friends and that they hung themselves together with one dupatta", said SP Alok Priyadarshi of Farrukabad police station.

Deceased father
Pappu, the father of one of the deceased girls said about the incident. "We had returned from the temple at night, and then after some time, both the girls told me that they were going to the Temple for the program. I work at the farm, so I was tired and I slept that time. 

When the program finished at 12, I couldn't find the girls, I asked everyone I could and searched all over for them but couldn't find them," said Pappu.

He further explained that he found out about the bodies when someone had gone to the farm in the morning, which is when the girls were reportedly found.

Father claimed
