Gurugram IT couple found dead in suspected murder-suicide

An IT professional and his wife were found dead in their Gurugram apartment on Wednesday, October 14, following an email sent by the man to his colleagues. The email, which stated, “we are leaving this world,” included contact information for the man’s parents and landlord.

Upon arriving at the M3M Marina residence, the landlord discovered Mohammad Aslam, 30, hanging in the apartment and his wife, Farhana, 27, lying on the floor with an injury mark on her neck. Police recovered a note with the same message as the email, and the words “I love you” were found written on Farhana’s clothing.

Authorities have registered a murder case under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). While investigators suspect Aslam killed his wife before committing suicide, the exact circumstances remain under investigation pending autopsy results. Police have seized electronic devices, a diary, and other personal items for forensic analysis.
