Engaged bank couple found dead hours apart in Kerala, Karnataka
A young woman and her fiancé both worked at a bank in India.
They were recently engaged and planned to get married in December.
Sadly, they both died within hours of each other in two different states.
The woman, Anushree, was found at the place where she lived in Karnataka.
The man, Amal, was found in a hotel room in the city of Kochi in Kerala.
Police think Amal may have ended his own life after hearing that Anushree had died.
No note was found that explains what happened.
Police are still investigating and will also check Amal's phone for clues.
The exact cause of the deaths has not yet been confirmed.
