Parimal Chandra, officer-in-charge of Patnitala Police Station, said being informed by locals, police recovered the bodies of Joy and Kajli hanging from a mango tree near the Eidgah ground at Gopinagar village around 11 am.
Joy had love affair with Kajli, said the OC adding that they might have ‘hanged themselves’ as their parents refused to accept the relationship.
