Arunachal Pradesh: 3 From Kerala Found Dead, State Police To Send Team
Thiruvananthapuram city police Commissioner C Nagaraju said that there appears to be something abnormal in the behaviour of the three, a married couple and a woman.
Kerala police said on Tuesday that it will send a team to Arunachal Pradesh in connection with the deaths of three people hailing from the state, as reported by news agency PTI. This comes amid speculations that black magic may be behind their deaths. Kerala police, however, said that it cannot presently say that it was due to black magic.
Thiruvananthapuram city police Commissioner C Nagaraju said that there appears to be something abnormal in the behaviour of the three, a married couple and a woman, but nothing can be said conclusively till their mobiles and other electronic devices are examined. "We cannot say it was due to black magic or something like that. Our team will go there tonight. After the procedures are completed, we can bring the evidence from there. So it will take some time," the top officer of the city police said, as quoted by PTI.
He also stated that it needs to be investigated why the three went there and how their deaths occurred. The police official further stated that, prima facie, they do not have information about any other such groups. "But we need to probe as to why this group was formed and what was their common objective," as quoted by PTI.
On Tuesday, the police in Arunachal Pradesh's Lower Subansiri district recovered three bodies from a hotel room under mysterious conditions.
As per the police, the couple from Kottayam and their friend from Thiruvananthapuram were found dead inside a room of the Hotel Blue Pine at Hapoli. According to PTI, the deceased were identified as Thiruvananthapuram native Arya and Kottayam residents Naveen and his wife Devi. Naveen was into online trading, while his wife Devi taught German at a private school, and Arya was a French teacher in the same school.
Meanwhile, speaking to reporters, Soorya Krishnamoorthy, an art connoisseur and cultural activist, who is a friend of the couple's family, said that Devi's father, a wildlife photographer, was of the view that black magic was behind the deaths. "They came to know about the deaths in the afternoon. He (the father) told me that the couple had fallen into the trap of black magic. All three who died were well educated. So, it is a serious issue if they have fallen into such a trap. Awareness needs to be created against it in the public," he said, as quoted by PTI. He also stated that the couple were ayurveda doctors.
Local residents living near Naveen's family said that the couple were married 13 years ago and used to come and visit his parents occasionally, as per PTI. The three had reached the hotel on March 28. Arunachal Pradesh Police said that the initial investigations suggested suicide, but only after the autopsy report is received can a definitive conclusion be reached.
