A 24-year-old dance instructor committed suicide after allegedly strangling his suspected lover here, a police officer said on Wednesday.
Police were alerted around 10 a.m. after locals saw Sachin alias Sonu hanging from a ceiling fan at his dance coaching institute at Chattarpur in south Delhi.
When a police team broke into the institute, they also found the body of Yogita, 24, with an extension cord around her neck, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Nupur Prasad told IANS.
Police suspect the two may have been in a relationship and could have argued this morning.
Police believe Sachin first killed Yogita and then hanged himself. Sachin hailed from Indore. No suicide note was found.
