Ahmedabad: Live-in couple found dead, police suspect suicide

A couple in a live-in relation in the Odhav area of the city allegedly committed suicide. Their body was recovered in a decomposed state on Monday late night, police said.

Sources close to the case said the couple had been renting an apartment in Krishna Apartment where their bodies were found. It is believed that they may have killed themselves some days ago.

The incident came to light after neighbours complained of a foul smell emanating from the house. The victims were identified as Puja Tarkesh, and her boyfriend Lakshman Chaudhary. While the woman's body was found on the bed, the man was found hanging from the ceiling.

A note written by the woman said no one was to blame for her death. Police said a written agreement between the couple pointed out that they were in a live-in relationship. They apparently had a fight as the agreement was found torn.

The body has been sent for post mortem and the relatives have been called to identify it.
