Two teenaged Dalit girls were found dead in a field in Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday, in what the police said was a suspected case of poisoning. Another 17-year-old girl was also found from the same spot and was in a critical condition.
The incident occurred in Babura village under Asoha police station in Unnao district. The girls had gone to bring fodder for their cattle. When they did not return by evening, some family members went looking for them, and found them lying in their field in an unconscious state, the police said.
Doctors declared two of them dead on arrival at a nearby hospital. The third girl was referred to the district hospital.
“There was some white substance coming out of their mouth and doctors have said there were symptoms of poisoning,” Unnao Superintendent of Police Sureshrao Kulkarni told The Indian Express. “We are recording statements of all the people concerned and an in-depth probe is being conducted. Necessary action will be taken.”
