A couple living together was found dead in their rented home in Bengaluru's Jigani area on Monday, with the police suspecting it to be a case of death by suicide following a fight.
The couple, identified as Seema Nayak (25) and Rakesh Nayak (23), are natives of Odisha. While Rakesh worked with a security services firm, Seema was employed at a supermarket in the area.
According to police, the incident likely occurred two days ago but came to light only on Monday when neighbours noticed a foul smell and no movement from the locked house. Growing suspicious, they broke open a window and discovered the couple dead inside.
