An elderly couple was found dead under mysterious circumstances at their residence in Hapur city, 50 km from Ghaziabad , police officials said on Tuesday.
The bodies of 67-year-old Ram Prashad, a retired railways official, and his 65-year-old wife were discovered on Monday when their neighbors entered the house through a roof after their repeated knocks on the door went unanswered, Superintendent of Police M M Beg said.
