According to police, a 42-year-old veterinary doctor allegedly killed his wife, threw his two children in a well, and then committed himself in a village near Pune, Maharashtra.
Dr. Atul Divekar, a veterinarian, has been named as the person responsible for the tragedy, which happened in the Varwand hamlet in the Daund tehsil. Police claim that Divekar killed his wife at home by strangling her before throwing his children, Advait and Vedanti, into a well. Later, after returning home, he committed suicide.
He was found hanging at his residence on Tuesday, the police said.
On getting information, a police team reached the spot where the couple’s bodies were found hanging.
Police also recovered a suicide note from the spot.
The suicide note, purportedly left behind by Atul stated that his wife’s ‘torture’ was the reason behind his extreme actions, said police.
“We are further looking into the case,” the police added further.
