Bhopal: A young couple reportedly jumped from a moving train into the Dhasan River in Chhatarpur district, Madhya Pradesh, on Saturday afternoon, in an apparent suicide pact.

Police have identified the young man as Sanjeev Ahirwar, 20, from Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, while the young woman's identity remains unknown. Authorities are investigating the circumstances behind the suspected suicide pact and are exploring potential motives.
