The bodies of two individuals with their heads brutally crushed were discovered on the outskirts of Gwalior city, Madhya Pradesh, on Saturday, a police official reported.

One deceased person is reportedly physically handicapped, according to Additional Superintendent of Police Niranjan Sharma. The bodies were found 20 meters apart on Sheetla Mata Mandir road, connecting to Shivpuri.

"Efforts are ongoing to identify the victims. It appears their heads were crushed with a stone. Personnel from Kampoo police station and a forensics team are on site," Sharma informed reporters.

Nearby, two blood-stained stones were located and are currently being examined as part of the ongoing investigation, another official added.

In an unrelated development, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia are slated to visit the city to inaugurate a cricket stadium and the Madhya Pradesh cricket league.

MP Congress chief Jitu Patwari has been vocally criticizing the state's law and order situation under Yadav's administration, which also oversees the home portfolio. Following increased crime rates, the CM recently convened a meeting with top police officials, urging them to enhance efforts to curb criminal activities.
