A tragic incident occurred in the Garhmukteshwar area on Friday evening when a couple, Naveen Gupta (40) and his wife Kavita (38), allegedly died due to asphyxiation caused by a gas leakage from their geyser. The couple had been celebrating Holi before the unfortunate event. According to family members, Naveen and Kavita went to their bathroom to wash off the Holi colors when they suddenly fainted. It is suspected that the gas emitted from the geyser led to their unconscious state.
"Based on the initial investigation, the couple allegedly died due to the gas emitted by the geyser," said Circle Officer Stuti Singh. Neighbors quickly rushed the couple to a local doctor, but upon further examination, they were referred to a hospital in Meerut. Unfortunately, the doctors declared them dead upon arrival. The police are currently conducting an investigation into the incident.
