Software couple found dead in Ameenpur

Hyderabad: A tragic incident unfolded on Sunday night, January 5, 2025, when a software couple was discovered dead by hanging at Sriram Hills Colony in Ameenpur Municipality, Sangareddy.

The deceased have been identified as Sandeep (36) and Keerthi (30), both of whom were employed at different multinational software companies. Originally from Warangal, the couple leaves behind two young children, both under the age of five.

Upon receiving reports of the incident, police quickly arrived at the scene and transported the bodies to a government hospital for post-mortem examinations. Authorities have registered a case and are currently investigating the matter.

This incident is part of a troubling pattern of recent suicides in the Hyderabad area. On November 14, 2024, Jaswanth Goud, a 17-year-old intermediate student at a private college in Bachupally, was found dead in his hostel room after reportedly taking his own life due to financial pressures, as detailed in a suicide note. This event sparked protests among students and their families advocating for greater financial support.

Additionally, on November 20, 2024, Vanga Naveen Reddy, a software employee, jumped to his death from the eighth floor of an IT company building located in Raheja Mindspace IT Park, Madhapur. Earlier, on October 25, 2024, Naga Prabhakar, a 27-year-old software engineer, also took his life, jumping from the seventh floor of his hostel building in Kokapet.

In light of these distressing events, mental health advocacy is crucial. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues or feelings of overwhelm, please reach out for help. Resources available include:
