The incident came to light yesterday when a farmer informed the police about foul smell emanating from a well situated in a field outside Thana Amar Singh village, said Arun Kumar Singh, Superintendent of Police (Rural), Mathura.
Both the bodies were fished out of the well with the help of a JCB and identified as that of 54-year-old Gopal and his daughter, through an Aadhar card recovered from one of them, the police officer said.
Both the bodies have been sent for post-mortem, said Mathura Senior Superintendent of Police Mohit Gupta, adding that the police is probing all the angles including the allegations levelled by the elder daughter of the deceased man.
