The district police on Tuesday found bodies of newly born twins from the banks of Kali Bein at village Kanjli, near here. Police were informed about the abandoned bodies by Manjit Singh, a resident of the village, who was on the way to his fields when he noticed the bodies.

 "The bodies of a boy and a girl, the twins, seem to be thrown by a woman to save herself from the ire of society. We have started investigations into the matter by checking the records of pregnant women from nurses and mid-wives of the area," revealed DSP Paramjeet Singh.

Police have registered a case.
