Kolkata, March 4 (NationPress) A couple and their young child were discovered hanging inside their home at Haltu, located under the Kasba police station in south Kolkata on Tuesday, according to police reports.
The victims have been identified as Somnath Roy, 40, an auto-driver, his 35-year-old wife Sumitra Roy, and their 2-and-a-half-year-old son, Rudranil Roy.
Upon receiving the news, a local police team hurried to the scene, retrieved the three bodies, and arranged for post-mortem examinations. Preliminary investigations indicate that the couple may have taken their own lives after suspending their child from the ceiling.
Further information will become available following the autopsy results. Investigators have found a suicide note at the scene; however, authorities have not disclosed its contents.
Initial findings also point towards a significant financial crisis as a potential catalyst for the couple's extreme actions. Nonetheless, police sources confirmed that investigators are exploring all possibilities to determine if foul play was involved in this tragic event.
A relative of the deceased mentioned that Roy had a conflict with another family member regarding financial issues, which could have pushed them to this dire decision. The police are looking into this angle as well.
In a separate incident, three family members, including two women and a young girl, were recently found dead in their Tangra residence on the eastern outskirts of Kolkata. Investigations revealed they were murdered by their husbands, who are biological brothers.
The brothers had also planned to end their own lives far from home, but their attempt failed when their vehicle was involved in an accident, leading to their hospitalization.
Similar to the current case, the underlying cause was attributed to a severe financial burden due to accumulated debts, driving them to such tragic measures.
