On Thursday, the 30-year-old guy and his wife, who is 27 years old, ate poison. According to Basti SP Gopal Krishana on Saturday, the wife died on Friday at a hospital in Gorakhpur while the husband died the same day.
According to the SP, the wife was allegedly gang-raped by the two males in her home on the intervening night of September 20 and 21.
The pair allegedly made a video before committing themselves in which they indicated the names of the suspects, according to the police.
According to the SP, a FIR was registered against the two individuals on Friday under Sections 376 D (gang rape) and 306 (abetment to suicide) in response to a complaint made by the deceased man’s brother.
