A woman and her infant daughter, who had been missing for two days, were found dead in a canal near their house here today, police said.

The bodies of Kunti (32) and her daughter Rani, who were missing since Thursday, were found in the canal in Danewa Danehi village here, police said.

Kunti's brother has lodged a complaint against her husband Manish, a drunkard, alleging that he killed them and threw the bodies in the river as she was opposed to his decision to sell their ancestral land.

The bodies have been sent for post-mortem to ascertain the cause of death, police added.
