Married four months ago in Pakistan's Sindh province, their visa applications were rejected amid strained Indo-Pak relations. Despite warnings from family, they crossed the border carrying a jerry can of water, which was found empty beside their bodies.

Police suspect they lost their way in the desert. Pakistani ID cards were recovered from the site, prompting a high-level security probe.
