Monday, June 20th, 2016 2:51:04 by fatimaarshadA young man and woman were found dead in a car parked in a garage in Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) colony on Friday evening. The incident took place in Hyderabad and the circumstances under which the couple died, still remain mysterious.
So far, it is being speculated that the couple died of an apparent suicide, but till the time the reports of the autopsy don’t come, nothing can be said for sure. The police are investigating the possibility of intentional or carbon monoxide poisoning.
According to the details of the case, the deceased include Mustafa Raza Shaikh and Benazir Qadri-both of them were studying at Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Techonology (SZABIST) in Hyderabad.
After being discovered, the couple’s bodies were taken to Civil Hospital by residents of the WAPDA colony. The investigating officers wanted to perform autopsy on both the bodies, but their parents took away the bodies without allowing the post-mortem to be carried out.
Despite the refusal for an autopsy, the Hussainabad police brought Mustafa’s body to the hospital in order to conduct a post-mortem. Mustafa was the son of Hyderabad’s Electric Supply Company’s safety director, Tufail Ahmed Shaikh. Mustafa’s family eventually agreed to provide the body for post-mortem in order to find out answers related to his mysterious death.
Meanwhil Benazir’s family did not like the possibility of a post-mortem and her father, Khadim Hussain, told police that his daughter committed suicide. Apparently Mustafa and Benazir wanted to get married but their families did not allow it, due to which they killed themselves.
Autopsy reports are expected to be back in five days, after which something conclusive can be said about these mysterious deaths.
