Honour killing: Young couple?s bodies found

Sirsa, Haryana : In a suspected case of ?honour killing?, the bodies of a young couple were recovered from cotton fields in Phoolkan village of Haryana?s Sirsa district.

Reports said on Sunday that decomposed bodies of the young man and woman were found on Friday night.

The victims were identified as Inder Pal, 22, and Maya, 18. They were reportedly in a romantic relationship, to which their families were opposed.
