Hyderabad: Three members of a family residing in Amberpet allegedly died by suicide on Tuesday, February 24, and left behind a suicide note saying they were forced to take the extreme step due to financial troubles, police said.
They have been identified as Ram Raj, 55, his wife Madhavi, 50 and their son Shashank, 24. The father ran a hotel in Amberpet and a biryani outlet in Mallepaly.
“Ram Raj had sent a WhatsApp message to his friend Ravi at around 3:00 am saying that they would take the extreme step. When Ravi reached their house at 8:30 am, he found their bodies,” an official from Amberpet police told Siasat.com.
The mother was reportedly suffocated with a pillow while the father and son were found hanging. Shashank slit his wrists before hanging himself.
The bodies have been shifted to the Osmania General Hospital mortuary.
Police have registered a case under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). Further investigation is underway.
