Hassan, Feb 25: In a shocking incident reported from Hamavathi Nagar in the town, three members of a family committed suicide together on Thursday February 24. It is said that they were facing a financial crisis and were unable to repay loans.
Those who killed themselves were Satyaprasad (54), his wife, Annapoorna (50) and son, Gourav (21), the police stated.
Satyaprasad owned a petrol bunk, house and other property here. He had raised a loan from a private finance firm. A few days back the lenders had taken away his car forcibly for non-payment of instalments. He also used to get calls seeking loan repayments.
The police said that initial indications are that the family members would have mixed poisonous substance to their food before consuming the same together inside their house. A case relating to the incident was filed in the town police station here.
