The boy and the girl, who have not been identified yet, were found hanging from the hook of a ceiling fan, police said.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Shiv Charan said the angle of honour killing could not be ruled out as both were found hanging from the same hook and there was a possibility that their bodies were hanged after murdering them.
The house where the bodies of these youngsters were found was closed for a long time. Prior to the year 2000, this house was used as an office of a regional party, Charan said.
The DSP said police suspect that the lovers either committed suicide together or were murdered and their bodies hanged. Dogs had eaten away the lower portions of their bodies. The stench led to the incident coming to light. A forensic team was probing the case, police said.
In another case, in Ghaziabad, three men on the run after murdering a couple and a young woman in a suspected case of honour killing were arrested Thursday from Garhmukteshwar in Uttar Pradesh, police said.
The three - Mandeep Nagar, Ankit Chaudhary and Nakul Khari - were held during checking in Garhmukteswar area, about 90 km from Delhi, Senior Superintendent of Police Raghubir Lal said. When a police team asked the trio travelling in a Hyundai I10 to stop, they tried to flee.
The three are residents of Wazirpur village in Ashok Vihar in Delhi.
They were fleeing after the triple murder of Kuldeep and Monica and Shobha June 20 in Ashok Vihar. They were reportedly monitoring the situation through television channels and newspapers. They hired a friend's car and went to Dehradun from where they moved to Masoori and then went to Rishikesh.
Delhi Police had declared cash rewards of Rs.50,000 on each of them. While Monica was Ankit's sister, Shobha was the sibling of Mandeep. Khushbu, the younger sister of Shobha, had started modelling. She later eloped and married a person named Ravi Kumar from Jammu and Kashmir at an Arya Samaj temple.
Shobha also proposed modelling but her family, particularly her brother Mandeep rejected the idea. He shot at and killed Shobha, the SSP said.
Monica had married Kuldeep about four years back. Mandeep called Kuldeep on his mobile and when he arrived, Ankit fired three times on him.
They then went to Monica's house and fired at her twice. They went to Rishikesh after committing the crimes and threw the pistol in the Ganga river, the police official said. "We are handing them over to Delhi Police which would conduct further interrogation on them," Lal said.
Ankit when produced before the media denied murdering his sister. "I only took a friend's car after the murder. But I did not kill my sister. I got scared when my name was shown in the channels and papers everywhere so I was running for a safer place," Ankit said.
Meanwhile, the uncle and cousin of Mandeep were taken into preventive custody for making provocative statements justifying the three murders.
"We have taken them into preventive custody under Sections 107 (security for keeping peace in the other case) and 151 (arrest to prevent the commission of a cognizable offence) of the Cr PC (Criminal Procedure Code)," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northwest) N.S. Bundela.
According to the police, this was necessary as statements by the two justifying the crimes may instigate others, leading to other such crimes.
Talking to reporters Wednesday, accused Mandeep Nagar's uncle Dharmaveer Nagar and his cousin Nitin justified the killing of Monica, her husband Kuldeep and Monica's cousin Shobha.
"This (killing) is not at all wrong. What is wrong in it? Murder is wrong but this (killing) is socially the best thing that has been done," Mandeep's uncle had said.
Monica and Kuldeep belonged to different castes and their families did not approve of their marriage, while Shobha had helped her sister elope with a man belonging to another caste.

Such "honour killing" cases should invite the death penalty and should come up before special fast track courts who should close the case in not more than, say, 1 month. Since the perpetrators plead guilty and even gloat over their act, there is no reason to delay punishments in such cases. There should also be a provision for couples who fear that they would face the wrath of "honour killers" to register their marriage in a police station and name the persons who might set out for their lives. Those so named should be immediately picked up should the unfortunate happen.

I am wondering if Muslims are allowed to follow their personal laws, then why Hindus do not have the same rights in India? Hinduism strated when there were no papers or books or courts. Thye established their own way of life that includes not marrying in same gotra which is spritual liniency and disciple of same Guru are considered brothers n sisters. I fail to understand why parents should be penalised for their efforts to teach discipline their children and why Panchayats should be demonised for keeping discipline in the society. Those who have lost their honour, who got cut their nose, who sided with foreign invaders and adopted their values of slavery have no right to impose nose cutting ceremonies on those who still take pride in their nation, their culture, their traditions. If muslims are allowed to live their lives as per their perosnal laws and traditions why Hindus should be denied same rights?
Dear Jaysharma, I agree that every citizen must have the right to follow his or her personal laws. Some of these laws may be at variance with the laws set out under the Indian constitution. No Indian should be denied the right and freedom to choose between his personal law and the law laid down under the Indian constitution. If you and your partner wish to go by gotra rules of your personal law, you have all the freedom to do so. But if your brother and his partner do not wish to be covered by their personal law, they would automatically be covered by the law under the Indian constitution. Then no one in the name of honour or Khap panchayat would have the right to touch them.
to understand full technicalities of gothra, varna, rushi, tapas, sampradaya ,yug dharma and such other simple looking words, a deeper study, an intense tapas is required. just like i cannot understand the nuclear structure of an atom with my matriculate level knowledge , i need to do further studies to understand
gothra is related to a lineage of a rishi, like bharadhwaj, etc , into which, the initiated acquire the gothra name, denoting the belonging, carrying out the sadhana prescribed by that rishi for evolving , for getting relief from bondages in this life, to live a life of freedom and ultimate moksha, and getting rid of the birth death

Dear vigil.lance, The common man may not under the structure of the atom, but it is not difficult for anyone to understand the consequences if a nuclear bomb should fall on them. Similarly, the intricacies of gotra may be complex, but anyone in love knows the logical conclusion such love has to take. The knowledge of atom should not give anyone the right to use a nuclear bomb. The knowledge of gotra should not give anyone the right to deny love.
