Foreign couple found dead in Manikaran

Shimla/Kullu, Nov 17: The naked bodies of a couple believed to be from Russia were found at a small pond near the holy town of Manikaran in Himachal Pradesh’s Kullu district, police said on Friday. The bodies found Thursday bore some injury marks. Police said it appeared to be a case of suicide, but did not rule out the possibility of murder. Police said the couple, who were in their twenties, could not be immediately identified. But based on some of the belongings found nearby, they believed that the victims could be from Russia. Naked bodies of the woman and the man were found inside a kund (hot spring pool) and outside the pool, respectively in Tagri, on the banks of the Parvati river, two kilometers from Manikaran. (PTI)
