MUMBAI: A newly married couple died by suicide in their Worli flat by drinking some poisonous substance. Police said they left behind a note stating that they were taking the extreme step as they were suffering from post-Covid complications and were having trouble living a normal life.
Ajay Kumar (34) and Suja S (30) had got married 10 months ago and was living in the flat on rent at Bharat Mills society. Suja’s mother, who stays in Kerala, was trying to reach her but she did not answer the calls. So, the mother asked her colleague to check on her. The friend broke open the door and found the couple motionless on the floor. The friend informed the police.
The post-mortem examination at Nair Hospital found traces of poison in the bodies, but the poison hasn’t been identified. “The preliminary post-mortem report found poison in the bodies. We have sent the viscera of both the bodies to the forensic laboratory,” said senior inspector Anil Koli.
