A horrific incident unfolded in Sirsa, Haryana, where a young man allegedly murdered his girlfriend before dying by suicide in a rented accommodation near Fauji Chowk. The tragic event occurred on Monday late night, sending shockwaves through the local community.
Victims Identified as Simran and Sunil
The deceased have been identified as Simran, also known as Simmi, a resident of Ratia in Fatehabad district, and Sunil, who hailed from Jind. According to police reports, Simran's body was discovered lying on a bed with visible injury marks on her neck. Sunil was found dead on the floor of the same room, with a scarf tightly wrapped around his neck.
Preliminary Investigation Points to Strangulation and Suicide
Initial findings from the police investigation suggest a grim sequence of events. It appears that Simran was strangled to death, after which Sunil allegedly used her scarf to hang himself. The room showed signs of a struggle, though the exact motive behind the violent act remains unclear at this stage.
Background of the Deceased and the Night of the Incident
Simran worked as a dancer in an orchestra and had been living in the rented house for approximately three months. She shared the accommodation with two other women—one from Delhi and another from Nepal. On the fateful Monday night, Sunil arrived to visit Simran. Her roommates were present in the house at the time but were asked to sleep in a room on the ground floor.
Witnesses reported to the police that a heated argument erupted between Simran and Sunil shortly after his arrival. Loud shouting was heard for a considerable duration, indicating a severe dispute. However, the precise cause of the quarrel has not yet been determined by investigators.
Discovery of the Bodies and Police Response
On Tuesday morning, when Simran did not emerge from her room for an extended period, one of her roommates knocked on the door. Receiving no response, they alerted the authorities. A team from the City police station swiftly arrived at the scene, sealed the premises, and took both bodies into custody.
The bodies were subsequently sent to the mortuary of Sirsa Civil Hospital for a post-mortem examination. In addition, the police recovered the mobile phones of the deceased and sent them for cyber analysis to gather further evidence and understand the circumstances leading up to the tragedy.
Ongoing Investigation and Family Notifications
Police officials confirmed that the families of both Simran and Sunil have been informed about the devastating incident. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities awaiting the post-mortem reports to gain more insights into the exact causes of death. Further details are expected to emerge as the probe continues.
This tragic case highlights the urgent need for addressing interpersonal conflicts and mental health issues in society. The local community remains in shock as they await the full findings from the police investigation.
