Teacher couple from Gadchiroli found dead by suicide at their Nagpur home during Diwali visit

A couple who work as school teachers in Surjagad in Gadchiroli district died by suicide in the gallery of their house in Nagpur, where they had come to celebrate Diwali. The incident has caused shock in the city and sensation in the area.

The incident took place in Revatinagar, which falls under the Beltarodi police station limits. The deceased have been identified as Manish Pralhad Ganvir and Sonali Manish Ganvir. Both were teachers at a school in Surjagad in Gadchiroli district. They had come to their home in Nagpur last week for the Diwali holidays. No one had imagined that they would take such a step.

According to the information available, it was the second marriage for both Manish and Sonali. Both had earlier been divorced. They then began a new life with a court marriage in August. However, the decision did not work out for them, and within a few days discord began between the two. Manish's parents had gone to Bodh Gaya with relatives, but they were in constant touch with their son and daughter-in-law by phone. The couple quarrelled on Saturday afternoon, and took the step that night.

Meanwhile, the couple's phones could not be reached. Manish's mother therefore sent her nephew to the house to check whether anyone was home. When he reached, he found the door locked. He rang the bell several times but there was no response from inside. Suspicious, he climbed onto a tin shed and went to the gallery on the second floor. He looked in through the window and was stunned by what he saw. He immediately informed neighbours, relatives and the police.

Beltarodi police reached the spot and registered the case as an accidental death. Police are investigating the matter further.
