PATNA: A debt-ridden couple committed suicide by hanging themselves from ceiling after killing their minor son at their rented accommodation in Katihar town on Tuesday.
The victims were identified as Manish Kumar (42), his wife Mona Kumari (35) and their three-year-old son Samrat.
Katihar SP (incharge) Aditya Kumar said Manish was a businessman and Mona a social worker.
“The two have left a four-page suicide note stating that they took the extreme step after failing to repay a loan of Rs 30 lakh,” the SP said, adding the incident probably took place on the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday.
The SP said preliminary investigations suggested that the couple poisoned their son and hanged themselves to death. “Manish and Mona were found hanging from a rope tied to a hook fixed in the ceiling,” he said, adding Manish had tried his luck in different businesses, including television and mobile sales. “He had taken loan from several people,” the SP said.
