Pappu, the father of one of the deceased girls, spoke to ANI 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.

The father claimed that he thought that someone had murdered the girls and then hanged them afterwards. “I think that someone has killed them and then hanged them. But I don’t have any enmity with anyone else.” added the father.

According to the police, it is suspected that the girls climbed the tree together and tied the dupatta to the branch to hang themselves. “Prima facie, it seemed that the girls had done it by themselves. But, things will become clearer after the postmortem,” said SP Priyadarshi.
