A missing complaint led police to a horrifying discovery inside a Gurugram paying guest (PG) accommodation, where a 25-year-old woman was found dead in a pool of blood.
Hours later, investigators found that her boyfriend, an AI engineer, has also allegedly died by suicide, news agency PTI reported.
The deceased woman and her boyfriend were both employed by the same private company in Gurugram. The man was staying in a PG accommodation in Sector 55.
The incident surfaced after the woman's family approached the Sector-56 police station on Saturday after they were unable to get in touch with her.

Missing complaint leads police to woman's body
Acting on the complaint, police traced the woman's mobile phone location to the man's PG accommodation in Sector 55. Officers questioned neighbours, who said they were unaware of any disturbance or incident. Police then had the room opened, PTI reported.
Inside the room, investigators found the woman's body lying in a pool of blood, with blood splattered across the room. A preliminary investigation indicated that she had been stabbed to death. A forensic science laboratory (FSL) team visited the scene and collected evidence.
