In a tragic incident, a software professional couple from Telangana died by suicide in north Bengaluru on Monday, under the jurisdiction of the Kothanur police station.
The deceased have been identified as Bhanu Chander Reddy (32) and his wife, Shazia Siraj (31). Both were employed in the IT sector.
According to police, Bhanu Chander Reddy was found hanging inside a room in his flat at the Nikoo Homes-1 apartment complex on Thanisandra Main Road. The incident came to light when Shazia Siraj visited the flat on Monday morning and became suspicious after repeated attempts to contact him went unanswered.
She alerted neighbours and the apartment’s security staff, who broke open the door and discovered Reddy hanging inside the room.
Police said that soon after learning about her husband’s death, Shazia ran out of the apartment and jumped from the 17th floor of the same building, resulting in her death on the spot.
A case of unnatural death has been registered, and an investigation is underway. “We are searching for any death note left behind by Reddy or any other available evidence,” said a police officer.
