Sonipat SP Rajinder Singh said the accused, Vidhya Devi, and her two sons, Suraj Varma and Chand Varma, have been arrested for killing the girls.
Singh said the police were doubtful about the behaviour of Vidhya Devi's family members during investigation. The three later confessed their crime to the police. They told the police that the girls had physical relationship with their cousin and this had provoked them to take the extreme step.
