VK Gadhvi, police inspector of Bhaktinagar, said that the incident came to light after neighbours, not noticing any movement in the Moradia household since morning, broke open the door.
"The neighbours found the couple unconscious. The emergency medical team that arrived declared the two dead," said Gadhvi.
Police said that while the exact reason is being investigated, marital discord between their son and their daughter-in-law could be a reason.
"Moradia's daughter-in-law had recently given an application at the women's police station due to some dispute. This might have led to the suicide of the couple. However investigations are still on to find the exact reason," said Gadhvi.
Gadhvi said that Moradia also served as the principal of private school.
