A young couple in their 20s, Kajal and Arman, were found dead in a suspected honour killing case. Police investigations pointed to Kajal's family members, specifically her brothers, who admitted to the murders. The incident raises concerns of communal tensions in the area.

A tragic case of suspected honour killing has surfaced as a young couple, missing for three days, were found buried in a field near the Neem Karoli Baba temple, officials reported on Thursday.

The victims, Kajal, a student and teacher, and her partner Arman, both in their 20s, were allegedly killed by Kajal's family members. Their concealed bodies were discovered in a pit on Wednesday night following a police investigation.

According to Senior Superintendent of Police Satpal Antil, Kajal's brothers confessed to the crime. A further probe is underway, given the different community backgrounds of the victims, which has prompted the deployment of additional police forces to prevent potential tensions.
