Solan superintendent of police Virender Sharma and Parwanoo deputy superintendent of police (DSP) Yogesh Rolta rushed to the spot and confiscated the bodies that were found wrapped in bedsheets. Sharma said that one of the victims appeared to be in her mid-20s and the other in her mid-30s. He said that a junk dealer spotted the bodies and informed a local resident, who in turn intimated the panchayat authorities after which the police were called.
The SP said that the victims may have been murdered at some other place and later the bodies could have been dumped near Parwanoo.
He said the bodies have been sent to Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla, for post-mortem. A team from the Forensic Science Laboratory at Junga visited the spot and collected evidence.
A case was registered under Section 302 (murder) of Indian Penal Code.
The police are examining the footage from CCTV cameras installed along the highway and the Parwanoo entry barrier to zero in on the culprits.
