A septuagenarian

brother-sister duo were found dead inside their house in Tatya

Tope Nagar area in the city on Tuesday, police said.

Police suspect that they might have succumbed to some

disease or committed suicide.

Their bodies were recovered after the police were

alerted about foul smell emanating from the house.

The deceased were identified as Mohan Otwani and his

sister Shanta Otwani, both aged between 70 and 75 years, an

official said.

"We received a call around 3 pm about foul smell

coming from the house. However, when a police team went to the

place, they found that the house was locked from inside,"

police inspector D R Patil said.

"Besides the elderly siblings, nobody else lived in

the house. The door of the house was always shut. Both of them

might have died three days back due to some disease or

committed suicide. But it will be confirmed once we get their

post-mortem report," he said.

Further investigation is on.
