A two-day search of the Chambal River in Agra found no trace of an 18-year-old Delhi woman’s body, assistant commissioner of police Anil Kumar said. Delhi Police returned to the capital on Thursday with the two accused after their remand ended. The Hindu reports that police allege the woman’s father and brother-in-law strangled or drowned her after she became four months pregnant outside marriage, then staged her death as suicide. Police say they took her to Agra on the pretext of medical treatment and later claimed she had consumed poison. The case began as a kidnapping complaint in Delhi and now includes murder, conspiracy and disappearance of evidence charges.
