Deoghar (Jharkhand), Nov 5 (NationPress) A sense of dread enveloped the Belabagan Kalibari locality of Deoghar on Wednesday afternoon when a young couple was discovered lifeless in their rented home under perplexing conditions. The victims have been identified as Ravi Sharma, 30, and his spouse Lovely Sharma, 24, who had been married for approximately a year.
According to law enforcement, the room was secured from the inside. After the couple failed to respond for an extended period, concerned neighbors contacted the landlord, who subsequently alerted the authorities.
A police unit arrived at the scene, forced open the door, and found both individuals deceased within the room.
As the news circulated quickly through the neighborhood, a large crowd gathered outside the residence.
A forensic team was summoned to gather evidence and assess the situation.
Initial findings indicate that this incident could involve a murder-suicide scenario, although the specific details will be clarified following the post-mortem examination, according to police sources.
Preliminary investigations revealed that Lovely was originally from Kalirekha in Deoghar, while Ravi hailed from Siwan district in Bihar. He had been employed in Guwahati before relocating to Deoghar.
Authorities mentioned that the couple had reportedly been experiencing marital issues since their marriage. A few months prior, Lovely's family had filed a complaint at the Women’s Police Station in Deoghar, which led to counseling and an agreement to reconcile. Following this intervention, the couple resumed cohabitation.
Residents in the area reported that the couple had an intense argument late Tuesday night, which is believed to have preceded the tragic event.
Family members from both sides hurried to Deoghar upon receiving the news and were left heartbroken.
The bodies have been sent for autopsy, and police have commenced a thorough investigation into all potential aspects.
“We are exploring both possibilities—murder and suicide. The cause of death will be clarified once the autopsy report is available,” stated the officer in charge of Deoghar City Police Station.
