A woman and her teenage daughter died after being hit by a tractor while they were returning home from the market here, police said on Thursday. The accident took place on Wednesday, they said.

According to a complaint lodged by the woman's husband Badan Singh, his wife Shanti Devi (50) and daughter Sushma (17) were allegedly killed by Yashveer and his brother over personal enmity. SP Kasganj Sushil Kumar Ghule said in 2016, police had arrested Singh and his associates in connection with the murder of Mahaveer Rajput.
