The bodies of a man and a woman, both 19-year-old and supposedly in a relationship, were found hanging in a hotel room under Lucknow's Naka police station area on Monday, police officials said.
The incident came to light when the housekeeping staff of the Mini Mahal Hotel in Lucknow's Naka knocked on their door but received no response. Subsequently, the hotel manager informed the police about the matter.
Upon receiving information, the police reached the spot, broke the door and found them hanging from a fan. Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Raveena Tyagi, said that prima facie it appears to be a case of suicide.
