The deceased youth has been identified as Vivek Kumar (22), a polytechnic student, who was missing since Saturday and the identity of girl, whose age is estimated to be about 20-years-old, has not been established yet, police said today.

Prima facie it appears that the girl and the youth were friends and this was apparently an honour killing, police added.
