A pilgrim couple on Monday night committed suicide by hanging themselves from the ceiling fan at one of the TTD run cottages at Tirumala.
The incident came into light on Tuesday when the on-duty health staff failed to receive any response from within the suit despite their repeated knockings on the doors. The staff who grew suspicious immediately alerted their higher-ups who in turn informed the police who broke open the doors which were locked from inside only to find the couple hanging dead. The deceased couple had identified themselves as Sampath Kumar and Satyavani from Coimbatore, according to the information provided by them during their time of occupying the suit.
