According to police, Kailash had filed a missing person report for his wife Venita (28) and daughter Riya on April 24.
In his complaint, Kailash said that he and his wife were working as labourers in a mine in Garda village. Vineta left home with his daughter after a minor domestic dispute on April 24 and did not return, SHO at Namana Police Station Dharmaram Jat said.
On Wednesday evening, police recovered Vineta and her daughter's body from a water-filled mine. Prima facie, it appears that bodies are around five to six days old and that Vineta jumped into the water with her daughter, the SHO said.
