Lahunipara: A woman and a man were found dead on the embankment of a pond at Nuagaon under Lahunipara police limits of Sundargarh district Friday. Police seized the bodies and registered a case. The deceased were identified as Jogendra Kisan (48) and Gayatri Kisan (42) of Nuagaon. Jogendra was married and has three children while Gayatri was unmarried.

In a sudden twist to the tale, police found the bodies of the two near the pond Thursday. Police seized two bottles of poison near the bodies. It is suspected that the duo might have committed suicide. However, police are not clear why the duo took the extreme step.
