Bodies of elderly couple recovered from maize field in Jharkhand's Gumla

The bodies of an elderly couple were today recovered from a maize field in Jharkhand's Gumla district, a police officer said.

Prima facie, it seems that Sahdeo Oraon (65) and his wife Bigni Devi (62) - residents of Arko Mahua village in Puso police station area of Gumla - were killed around two days ago, he said. "We are probing the case from all angles.

The couple could be a victim of a witchcraft practice," the officer said, adding that the bodies have been sent for post-mortem. (This story has not been edited by Devdiscourse staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)
