Srinagar- Dead bodies of a woman and her two minor kids were recovered from Dal Lake at Fore-Shore Road near Eco Park, police said on Saturday.
The unidentified dead bodies of a woman in her mid 40’s and her two minor kids including a girl aged about 4 years and a 6 years-old boy, were recovered around 6: 30 in the evening, a police official told Kashmir Observer.
The dead bodies, he said, were referred to the Government Medical College (GMC) Srinagar for medico-legal procedures; however their identities could not be verified as of now.
To determine the potential cause of death, a formal case has been registered at the concerned police station in this regard and investigation set off.
The police, sources said, are looking into the case from two different perspectives including that of the drowning and the suicide.
Some passerby, they said, spotted the dead bodies floating in the water, who then alerted the police, and the bodies were subsequently retrieved.
A police official said that it was too early to draw a conclusion because the investigation was still ongoing when asked if the three had drowned in Dal Lake or this was a case of suicide.
“Since there are no signs of a drowning, it appears this was a suicide. However, the matter is still being investigated; therefore it is too early to draw a conclusion,” he added.
