A man hanged himself after his friend’s suicide at Sahupada under the Sadar police limits here on Friday.
The deceased were identified as Trilochan Jena (45) and Kirti Jena (35). Kirti had been found hanging in his house in the morning. Trilochan, on being informed about his friend’s death, rushed to the spot and conveyed his condolences to the bereaved family.
After returning home, Trilochan entered into a room. Moments later, his body was also found in a hanging state. The reasons behind the extreme step by the two were yet to be ascertained. Police registered two different unnatural death cases and started the probe.
