Police was also informed and they broke open the door of the flat on Saturday morning in the presence of senior officials and higher authorities of NIT-Rourkela. The bodies of the two, in their mid-thirties, were found inside.
The body of the woman was on the bed, while that of the husband was in the bathroom, both of them had vomited before dying, Rourkela superintendent of police Sarthak Sarangi said.
The suicide note mentioned that no one was responsible for their death, the SP said. “Prima facie, it looks like a case of suicide. We are yet to ascertain the exact reason and investigation is in progress,” the SP said. Forensic and scientific experts and others examined the site as part of the probe. The bodies were sent for postmortem, the police said.
Registrar of NIT Rourkela P K Das said, “They were a wonderful couple and very friendly. Jayabalan was liked by the students and his colleagues. He would involve himself in all the activities of the department. He was also very good at his subject, life science.” PTI
