A couple living together in Bengaluru’s Jigani area was found dead in their rented home on Monday. The police IS suspecting it to be a case of death by suicide following a fight.

The couple, identified as Seema Nayak (25) and Rakesh Nayak (23), were originally from Odisha. Rakesh worked with a security services firm, while Seema was employed at a supermarket in the area.

According to police, the incident came to light after the neighbours noticed a foul smell and no movement from the locked house. Suspecting something unusual, the neighbours broke open a window and discovered the couple dead inside.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the two had frequent arguments, allegedly over Rakesh’s drinking habit.

A friend who shared the house with them had reportedly left on Friday after one such altercation.

According to the police, Rakesh may have killed himself after a fight, following which Seema could have died by suicide too, NDTV reported.

The police have registered a case and are investigating further. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination.
