A married couple and one of their friends from Kerala's Kottayam district were found dead in a hotel room in Arunachal Pradesh’s Ziro town. The couple are ayurvedic doctors named Naveen Thomas (35), Devi Thomas (35), and Arya B. Nair (29) who is a school teacher from Thiruvananthapuram.
Three of them reached the hotel room on March 28, and all of them have been sharing the room since that day. But they were last seen by hotel staff on March 31. This causes concern among the hotel staff when they have not been visible since that day. Amidst curiosity, the hotel staff checked on them on April 2 but did not receive any response from them. So, the staff entered the room, and to their surprise, they found three dead bodies. Three of them have cuts on their wrists.
Upon investigation, a suicide note was found in the hotel room, which included the signatures of three of them. The notes stated, "We have no debts. We don't have any problems. We are going to the place where we should be." This cryptic note increases questions regarding the circumstances of the incident.
Devi's father, Balan Madhavan, is a wildlife photographer who is shocked by the incident and raises concern that his daughter and her companion may have fallen into the trap of Blackmagic. It was also revealed that Devi was showing interest in concepts related to life after death on the internet prior to the incident.
Fatherly investigations revealed that a missing diary of Arya was reported on March 27, which increased suspicion about their journey. Naveen and Devi have been married for 13 years, and they leave Ayurveda practice to pursue other interests. Naveen was exploring online trading, while Devi was teaching German at a private school.
The investigating authority suspects that three of them are engaging in some group that promotes afterlife-related activities, as some evidence also suggests the same. The Kerala cyber wing has started their investigation regarding their online activities and other related things.
The terrible deaths of the Kerala doctor couple and their friend serve as an example of the risks of extreme beliefs and the value of critical thinking, particularly in today's world of extensive online knowledge.
The investigation is in progress, and the authorities encourage people, if anyone has any information regarding their involvement in any group, to come forward.
The facts surrounding the deaths of Naveen, Devi, and Arya remain unknown, with investigators working hard to uncover the truth behind this unfortunate incident.
