A tragic case of family suicide has occurred in Kolkata, with three members of a family found hanging within their home. The authorities named the victims as a couple and their infant child, and initial investigations indicate a murder-suicide.
Based on police accounts, the parents initially hung their child on the ceiling before committing suicide. The reason behind the extreme act is under investigation, but insiders hint at possible financial hardship or marital problems as motives.
Neighbors reported the authorities after hearing nothing from the house for an unusual period of time. When police entered and forced open the door, they found the bodies suspended in various rooms, suggesting a premeditated act.
The police have launched a detailed investigation, looking for leads from the family’s telephone records, financial position, and suicide notes. The horrific incident has raised alarms about growing mental health problems, compelling the authorities to insist on better support mechanisms for troubled families.
