The victims have been identified as Ratna Begum, 30, daughter of Muktar Hossain from Palgaon village and Kamrul Islam, 35, son of Sirajul Islam from Borta village of the same the upazila.
According to police and family sources, Kamrul came to his in-laws’ house in Palgaon from his own house on Friday afternoon with Ratna to deliver her second baby.
