Sources indicate that Lokesh had visited his in-laws’ house on Thursday night, where an argument reportedly took place between the couple. He later left the house. On Friday morning, when Akanksha did not respond to his calls, Lokesh returned to the residence. Upon peering through a window, he reportedly saw both women hanging, after which he immediately alerted the police.
Police officials reached the spot, took both bodies into custody, and sent them for post-mortem examination. An accidental death report has been registered, and further investigation is underway.
According to police sources, one of the suicide notes, written by Sangeeta, mentions that she took the extreme step of her own will. In a separate note, Akanksha reportedly expressed her final wishes, stating that her body should not be handed over to her in-laws and that her last rites should be performed at the same place as her father’s.
Meanwhile, relatives of the deceased have made serious allegations against Akanksha’s husband and his family, accusing them of subjecting both women to ongoing mental harassment over a property dispute. They have demanded a thorough investigation and strict action against those responsible.
Police have stated that the case is being examined from all angles, and further action will be taken once the facts are fully established.
