In a heartbreaking incident, Manish Pralhad Ganvir, aged 38, and his wife Sonali Manish Ganvir, 35, were found dead in their residence located in Revati Nagar, Besa, Nagpur, on Sunday morning, November 8. This tragic discovery has left their family and friends in deep shock, particularly as it occurred during the couple's first Diwali celebration after their marriage.

The Ganvirs, both employed as teachers at an educational institution in Surjagad, Gadchiroli district, had tied the knot in August this year. This was a second marriage for both individuals, who had developed a close bond while working together. They had traveled from Gadchiroli to their home in Besa to celebrate the festival, making preparations just a day prior to the incident.

The alarming situation came to light around 9:15 AM when a relative, Prashik Ajay Landge, 26, visited their home. After failing to get a response from the couple despite repeated calls, he grew concerned and accessed the balcony to check through a window. Upon looking inside, he found the couple unresponsive in their bedroom and promptly notified the authorities.

Beltarodi Police Station dispatched a team to the scene, where they initiated the necessary procedures. The bodies were sent to Government Medical College and Hospital, Nagpur, for further examination. An accidental death case has been registered, although the precise circumstances surrounding their deaths remain unclear.

Authorities are currently investigating potential family issues or personal matters that may have led to this tragedy. As of now, no definitive cause has been identified, and the investigation is ongoing, with hopes of uncovering more details about this distressing event.
