Bodies of two teen-age girls fished out, suicide suspected

The police today fished out bodies of two 15 years old girls who had gone missing last Saturday from a river in Vadgaon Sheri near here.
They were identified as Chotikumari alias Simran Singh and Sneha More.
Police believe it to be a case of suicide.
"The deceased girls along with two other girls and four boys had left home on Saturday and went for an outing in Kharadi. After spending a few hours there, they returned to the house of one of the girls. The sister of one of the deceased girls called her and said her father was angry with her," said a police officer at Chandannagar police station.

The girls then thought their families had learnt about their love affairs and the outing, and got scared. "Both then decided not to go home, and called up their boyfriends and told them that they were going to commit suicide," the officer said.
The girls then switched off their phones and the boys could not call them back.

Families of both the girls lodged complaints of missing and kidnapping by unidentified persons on Sunday.
"The boys did not tell us about the call made by the girls, but after the bodies were found today, they told us about the call," said the officer.

DCP (crime branch) P R Patil said police were investigating all the angles of the case.
