Patna, Nov 23 (IANS) A man and his live-in partner were shot dead by unidentified persons in Paligang block on the outskirts of Patna, on Thursday.
Some passers-by spotted the bodies on the roadside near Khiri Mor on Madaripur-Fatehpur in Paliganj block and informed police.

The deceased were identified as Rajendra Yadav, a resident of GausNagar under Khiri Mor police station and Shardha Devi, a resident of Maheshpur village under the same police station.
