A man and a woman, having different spouses, were found hanging froma ceiling fan in a flat at Greater Noida on Thursday.
According to Gautam Budh Nagar Superintendent of Police (Rural) Vineet Jaiswal, both the bodies were found in a decomposed state from the flat in Lotus Welfare Society under Surajpur police station area.
He said both the man and woman were in their 20s and found married to different persons, adding the man's family has alleged foul play in the matter.
While the man had divorced his wife recently, the woman was married to another person with two children, he said.
“Prima facie it appears that both of them have committed suicide. We are, however, not ruling out other possibilities and probing the case from all angles,” Jaiswal said.
He said the post mortem reports, which would ascertain the cause of death and help in further probe, are still awaited.
The deceased man's family, who live in Baghpat, alleged that the two have been “killed” by the relatives of the deceased woman who had “come to know about their relationship” and hanged them to make it look like suicide.
A case has been registered at the Surajpur police station and further probe was underway, the police said.
