On Monday morning, the hanging bodies of the newlywed couple were recovered from their room. The incident occurred in the Kuleshwar area of South 24 Parganas. Police from Diamond Harbour station reached the scene after receiving information. The two bodies were recovered and sent for post-mortem examination.

That's when their hanging bodies came to their attention. Police were then informed. Investigators suspect the suicide incident stemmed from an argument or resentment between the husband and wife. Police say a complete investigation of the entire incident will be conducted.
