Srinagar, July 28: The bodies of a woman and two children recovered from the Dal Lake in J&K’s Srinagar city have been identified, said officials on Sunday.

The bodies were retrieved from the foreshore area of Dal Lake on Saturday evening following which police initiated further proceedings.

“They were residents of the Gool area in Ramban district. Preliminary investigation suggests that this could be the case of suicide by drowning, but a conclusion will be made once the probe is completed," said the officials.

“As a professional force, Srinagar police will conduct a foolproof inquiry into the matter while forensic experts are already on the job,” police said.
