The reason behind them taking the extreme step is still not known, but people close to the family said that they were going through abject poverty facing a lot of financial stress and the daughter’s health condition had taken a turn for the worse.
Superintendent of Police (SP) Sepahijala district, BJ Reddy said that preliminary findings suggest that all the three members consumed poison.
