In a shocking incident, a five-member family in a village in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh was found dead in their home. The deceased include Manish Kumar, his wife Saima, and their three children, Honey, Priyanshi, and Prateek. According to reports from the Indian media, the family’s death appears to be a case of mass suicide.
The incident came to light when the children failed to attend school, prompting their neighbors to break into the house. Upon entering the house, they found the family dead. Police have reportedly recovered a video recorded by Manish Kumar, in which he claims that the family took the decision to end their lives voluntarily and no one should be held responsible.
The video also reveals that Manish Kumar had sold a plot of land for 12 lakh rupees just a few days ago, and the buyer is not at fault. Additionally, a written message on the wall of the house reads, “We, Manish and Saima, are taking our own lives.”
The police investigation suggests that the family’s decision to end their lives was a joint one, and the note and video message on the wall support this theory. This incident comes just a week after three minor sisters in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, ended their lives by jumping from the 9th floor of an apartment building, apparently due to their parents’ restrictions on online gaming.
