The accused id identified as Suresh Babu (48), a salesman with a private firm. The incident took place Sunday, June 2
Suresh informed police about the incident and blamed his dead wife. But police grew suspicious on hearing different versions from Suresh and his daughter. They questioned Suresh’s daughter who revealed that Suresh had planned the family suicide over a financial row. He forcibly hanged his son in front of everyone and later forced her mother to commit suicide.
