Unmarried Couple Found Dead at House in Bengal's Birbhum
Something very sad happened in a village in West Bengal, a state in India.
A young man and his 17-year-old girlfriend were found dead inside her house on Tuesday morning.
The man, whose name was Sheikh Imran, was found hanging from the ceiling.
His girlfriend was found lying on a bed, and she had some marks on her neck.
The couple had been in love for a long time and wanted to get married.
But Imran's family did not want him to marry her.
People who live nearby think that this family opposition might be the reason for what happened.
The police broke open the locked door of the house to find them.
Doctors are now checking the bodies to find out the exact reason they died.
The police are also looking into whether someone else forced them to do this, and nobody has been arrested.
Bodies of an unmarried couple were found at a house in Deshalpur village under Suri police station in Birbhum district, West Bengal.
Sheikh Imran, a resident of Gopalpur village, was found hanging inside the house of his 17-year-old girlfriend.
The girl's body was found lying on a bed, and police noted marks around her neck.
Local residents allege that opposition from Imran's family to their marriage may have pushed the couple to take the extreme step.
Police have sent both bodies for autopsy and are investigating whether the deaths were suicide or involved foul play; no arrests have been reported.
