Investigation Underway After Couple Found Dead in Noida Car

A tragic incident unfolded on February 14, 2026, when the bodies of a couple were discovered inside a parked car in the Sector 107 area of Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The deceased, identified as Sumit, aged 32, and Rekha, aged 26, were found with gunshot wounds to their heads in a locked Tata Altroz vehicle. The car was located near Dadri Road, close to Pillar No. 84, after police received a call concerning the suspiciously parked vehicle.

Upon arrival, law enforcement officials reported finding the couple unresponsive. A firearm was recovered from Sumit’s hand, leading investigators to consider the possibility of suicide.
