The bodies were found to be bound with rope, and police think the six belonged to one family and jumped into the lake in a suicide pact. Later in the evening, they found the body of a man, but think that this was a case of accidental drowning.Inspector A V R Narasimha Rao of the Saroornagar police said he received a call from a local person at 9.30 a.m. Wednesday, reporting that some dead bodies could be seen floating in the lake. Police rushed to the spot and fished them out.The bodies were in a decomposed state, making identification difficult. Police think that the six jumped into the lake three days ago.
