On Wednesday, Sushanth visited his parents’ home and grew suspicious after finding a foul smell coming from the locked room. He immediately informed the police who managed to force open the main door and found the decomposed bodies.

“Sushanth, an IT employee along with his family, had left for Delhi to attend an official seminar. Since December 5, he has been trying to contact his parents in the city but their mobiles were switched off,” the police added.

“We suspect that the couple might have consumed sleeping pills around three to four days back. We are making efforts to find the cause of death,” Uppal SHO Election Reddy said.

The bodies have been shifted to Gandhi hospital for postmortem, he added further.
