Four people from the same family, including two children, were found dead under mysterious circumstances on Thursday, police said, adding that while it appeared that the husband and wife hanged themselves to death, their children may have been poisoned.
A case has been registered at Ratibad Police Station area in Bhopal. The police has recovered a “suicide note” from the spot and have launched an investigation into the matter. The note mentioned that the family was in debt. According to initial investigation, the police said that the family was under pressure of paying back loans they had taken through an online loan app. The moneylenders were allegedly blackmailing the family saying that they would make some obscene photos viral if they do not pay back the money, the police said.
Further investigation is ongoing.
