Malkangiri: A teenage girl and her lover reportedly committed suicide just after getting married at a village temple in Malkangiri district, police said on Thursday.
According to reports, villagers found the bodies hanging from a tree near a temple at MV-42 under Malkangiri Model police limits on Thursday morning and alerted police.
The deceased were identified as Sarita Sarkar and Vicky Sikdar.
Villagers told police that the two were in a relationship, which was opposed by their families. The duo had reportedly fled from their homes on Wednesday and got married before committing suicide.
