"Serious injury marks were found on the bodies of the two friends. Investigation is on to ascertain the exact cause," the police said.

The police questioned the family members and relatives if there could be any kind of foul play in the case, but could not get any clue so far.

Akash's father, Rakesh Kamal, said the family was in shock.
