The incident came to light last night after Krishna Varake (35) and Nilam Bhoir (21) were found hanging from a tree in a nearby forest area in Adiwasipada in Kandivali east, they said.
According to police, the duo was upset since their families disapproved of their relationship after learning about the extra-marital affair.
While Krishna, who works as gardener has two children with his wife, Nilam had left her husband and returned to her parent's home in Adiwasipada, Senior Police Inspector Dilip Yadav of Samtanagar Police Station said.
The bodies were handed over to parents after post mortem.
Police have registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) in this case and further investigation is on, he said.
