Unnao, Uttar Pradesh: A shocking discovery on Monday night sent tremors through the local community when the bodies of a 45-year-old man and his 14-year-old daughter were found on the Kanpur-Lucknow railway track near Sahjani Railway Crossing in the Gangaghat police jurisdiction.
The gruesome sight caused a temporary halt of the Tejas and Gomti Express trains for nearly 30 minutes. Both victims have been identified as a father and daughter residing in Sahjani, though the father’s in-laws live in Kanpur’s Kalyanpur area.
