As per information available, the elder sister had recently expressed her desire to marry a youth from the same neighbourhood, but her parents advised her to wait as she was still a minor. After this, both the girls reportedly had frequent arguments with their parents, with the latter chiding them over their rude behaviour.

Upset over the recent developments in the house, the minor girls are suspected to have hanged themselves from the iron grills to the window in the house with scarfs in the afternoon. Their parents, who returned from work in the evening, found them dead.

The Balapur police are investigating.
