Neeraj was working as a deputy general manager with Matrix Cellular Service Limited and his wife was working for a US-based IT company in Noida.
The family had gathered to celebrate Neeraj’s father’s birthday and Ruchi’s parents’ anniversary along with Holi on 2 March, reported TOI.
The family members were present inside the house when the incident took place, the report added.
The couple’s room was locked from inside. The family raised an alarm when their repeated calls went without any response. One of the family members peeped through the door and saw their bodies lying on the floor.
An ambulance was called and they were rushed to a private hospital, where they were declared dead on arrival.
“Their bodies, however, did not have any injury marks,” Rakesh Kumar Mishra, Circle Officer, Indirapuram, told TOI.
A case has been filed and the police is investigating the matter. As of now, the police is not certain whether it is suicide or murder, as no circumstantial evidence supporting any of the cause was found on the scene.
The couple got married in 2010 and have a 4-year-old daughter.
