VADODARA: In a mysterious incident, two employees of a private company in Padra were found in an injured condition from the firm’s quality control department on Monday evening. The duo has been shifted to a hospital and doctors said that they are unconscious but their condition is stable.
According to the police, 28-year-old Suvarna Dorik and 22-year-old Ashwin Parmar, who work in BDR Lifesciences Private Ltd in Padra were found in an injured state inside the department by other staff on Monday evening. Their throats were slit with some sharp weapon.
“The quality control department gives access only to select employees. This duo had access to the department where they work. We are trying to ascertain if it was a case of suicide or attempt to murder,” said M A Karmuar, Padra police inspector.
Karmur told TOI that their throats were slit with a knife that was found nearby. While Suvarna is a microbiologist, Ashwin works as a lab boy in the company located in Luna village. Their throats had exactly the same wound at the same spot. “We will be able to gather more details only after the duo regain consciousness,” Karmur added.
