Woman, daughter and son end lives in suicide pact in Bengaluru

BENGALURU: Three members of a family, including a woman and two of her children, ended their lives at their house in Mahalakshmi Layout on Tuesday. The deceased have been identified as Yashodha (70), Suman (41) and Naresh (31).

On Monday night, Yashoda’s daughter, who lives separately, called them, but she got no response. Getting suspiciously, she came to the apartment to check on them and asked the security guard to open the door. But, as there was no spare key, the guard could not open the dorr. Later, she called the police and they broke open the door and found that three of them had committed suicide.

Mahalakshmi Layout police visited the spot and investigated further.

The incident occurred in Mahalakshmi Layout police station limits. The north division Deputy Commissioner of Police, Vinayak Patil visited the spot and further investigation is under way.
