Their bodies were found in a locked room at a homestay near Devkali bypass in Ayodhya on Sunday evening. The woman was identified as Aroma Rawat and the youth as Ayush Kumar Gupta.

Around 5pm, a waiter knocked at their door to deliver tea, but received no response. The homestay owner alerted police. A team led by circle officer, Ayodhya, Ashutosh Tiwari, arrived and broke open the door. Both the victims were lying on the bed with gunshot wounds on their foreheads.
