Chikkamagaluru (Karnataka), Feb 20 (NationPress) The police in Karnataka discovered the bodies of a couple under suspicious circumstances in Dasarahalli village, located in the communal-sensitive Chikkamagaluru district on Thursday.
Initial investigations suggest that the couple hailed from Bengaluru. The young woman's body was located inside a vehicle, whereas the young man's body was found hanging from a tree branch nearby.
The couple, aged between 25 and 30 years, were discovered under mysterious circumstances. Police reported signs of strangulation on the woman’s neck, and the man allegedly used a dupatta to hang himself.
Authorities suspect foul play, as the dupatta may not have been sufficiently strong to support the man's weight. Furthermore, two wheels of the car were discovered stuck in a small pit adjacent to the road, adding to the mystery. The police are exploring the possibility of external involvement in this incident.
The vehicle, displaying a Bengaluru registration number, is identified as a yellow-board taxi. Investigators believe that the man might have been a driver from Magadi, a town near Bengaluru; however, details regarding the woman remain unclear. The identities of both deceased individuals have yet to be established.
The Chikkamagaluru Rural police have visited the site and are actively conducting their investigation. No suicide note has been recovered thus far, and they are gathering information about any missing person reports filed by the families of the deceased.
This incident bears resemblance to a previous case involving a 20-year-old student and her 25-year-old boyfriend, who went missing for three days and were later discovered dead in a lake on NICE Road in Talaghattapura on the outskirts of Bengaluru on July 3, 2024.
Both individuals, Anjana and Srikanth, were reportedly in a relationship that faced opposition from their families.
The couple left behind a suicide note taking responsibility for their drastic decision.
Both families had lodged missing complaints with the police. The incident became known when passers-by noticed the bodies floating in the lake and alerted the authorities.
