Two persons, including a panchayat member, were arrested Thursday for allegedly killing a 50 year old woman and her daughter in Shamli district of Uttar Pradesh, police said.
Sudhir Choudhry, a district panchayat member, along with his friend Sunil, had killed the two at their home in Bidoli village in the district on January 3, Superintendent of Police Ajay Kumar Panday said.
The SP said that Choudhry had illicit relations with the woman and some altercation between them led him to take this extreme step.
