Eyewitnesses and regular visitors to the park expressed shock over the incident. A man named Ashok, who frequently visits Deer Park, described the situation as disturbing and called for strict action if foul play was involved. “This is frightening. If someone is responsible for this, they should be punished. Many people come here and such incidents create fear,” he said.
However, another park visitor raised doubts over the suicide theory, questioning whether it was possible for someone to hang themselves from the particular tree. “The police believe it is suicide, but looking at the tree’s structure, it seems unlikely,” he remarked.
Authorities have launched further inquiries to determine the exact sequence of events leading to the teenagers’ deaths. Investigations are ongoing.
