The horrifying incident came to light on Monday morning when the family’s house help arrived for work. After receiving no response at the door, the house help alerted neighbors, who then informed the police. Upon entering the house, authorities discovered the bodies of the children and the couple, who were found hanging.

Preliminary investigations suggest that financial distress may have driven the family to take the extreme step. Anup Kumar is believed to have been cheated in a financial deal involving either a business or land transaction. In addition, sources suggest the couple may have been distressed over their daughter’s reported health issues.

Authorities have informed the family of the deceased, who are expected to arrive in Bengaluru soon. A case has been registered, and further investigation is underway to confirm the reasons behind this tragic incident.
