A 19-year-old girl and her younger sister, who had gone last evening to relieve themselves in a farming field in their village near here, were found shot dead hours later, the police said today.
Etawah Senior Superintendent of Police Ashok Kumar Tripathi said the incident occurred in a village under Basrehar police station jurisdiction.
When the girl did not return home till late, their family members thought they would have gone to a neighbour's house to attend a marriage function there.
"However, when they did not return even by late night, the family members began a frantic search for them and found their bodies in a nearby farming field. The police have sent the bodies for autopsy. At the crime spot, police have found bullet shell and a liquor bottle," the SSP said.
