The bodies of a man and a woman, aged in their 20s, were found on railway tracks near a crossing at southwest Delhi's Shahbad Mohammadpur village today.
The identities of the two, suspected to be a couple, could not be ascertained yet. The two were holding hands, with their fingers interlocked, a police official said.
From preliminary investigation, it appears that they committed suicide together by coming in front of a speeding train but no suicide note was recovered from the spot, a senior police official said.
While the head of the deceased man was found severed from the body, the woman's body had multiple injuries, including a deep wound on the head. The bodies were spotted by a railway employee.
People in the area have not been able to identify the two, which suggests that they were not from the locality. All police stations in Delhi-NCR have been informed about the matter, the official said, adding that an inquest has been initiated into the matter.
