New Delhi: In a case of suspected double suicide, a boy and a girl were found hanging from the ceiling fan of a room in an OYO Rooms branch in Delhi’s Dwarka Sector 17 on Friday.
Police said the deceased, aged around 20, had checked into the hotel, a favourite among couples, on Thursday.
They were found dead on Friday afternoon when the housekeeping staff of the establishment repeatedly knocked on the room door but got no reply. The staff called the hotel manager and they decided to wait a while since the hotel promises total privacy to its guests.
However, when there was no response for an hour, they broke open the door to find the couple hanging.
