Akhilesh Yadav, Samajwadi Party chief, has demanded swift investigation into the incident and said such incidents create an environment of fear in the society.
Two girls, aged 15 and 18, were found hanging dead from a tree in Uttar Pradesh's Farrukhabad today. Family members have said the teenagers went to attend a Janmashtami programme last evening, but did not return. This morning, their bodies were found in a mango orchard.
Police have recovered a phone from the spot and also found a SIM card on one of the girls.
The father of one of the girls said they had gone to attend a programme at the nearly temple on the occasion of Janmashtami. "They went in the evening and returned around 9 pm because it had started raining. Later, in the night, they went again. The programme ended around 1 am. When they did not return, we started looking for them. A child said they slept at their aunt's place. We went there, but did not find them. Many of our relatives stay there, so we thought they must have slept there and will return in the morning."
