Bodies of newborn twin girls with their throats slit were recovered in Jammu & Kashmir's Poonch district. The father has been arrested, according to the police.
The bodies of the newborn baby girls were found in their home in the Chaijjla Kayani village of the Mendhar sub-division of the district.
The father of the babies was initially detained for questioning and later was arrested, said officials.
As soon as the authorities received information about the bodies of two newborn baby girls lying in the house of Mohd Khursheed of Chajjla Keyani village, an investigation team was sent to the village.
The bodies have been sent for autopsy. A board of doctors has been constituted to carry out the post-mortem and furnish a detailed report.
Doctors said that after completion of medico-legal formalities, the bodies would be handed over to police.
The shocking news comes a day after a Delhi man was arrested from Haryana for killing his three-day-old twin daughters and burying them in outer Delhi's Sultanpuri area.
