A couple and their minor daughter were found dead at their residence in Kurukshetra’s Prem Nagar this morning. The trio reportedly died by suicide. The of Jatinder Kumar (30), his wife Manju (28) and their daughter Advika (3) were found hanging in a room on the second floor of the house. As per information, it was Advika’s birthday today.
It is learnt that the minor girl was suffering from paralysis. The parents couldn’t see their daughter’s suffering and reportedly took the extreme step last night.
Before dying, Jatinder had sent a message to his brother-in-law, requesting him to take care of his mother, who was living alone after her husband’s death. After reading the message, his brother-in-law alerted the police. On reaching the house, the police found three bodies hanging in a room on the first floor of the house. In the scheduled message, which was delivered at 5.30 am, Jatinder had stated that they were taking the extreme step and his brother-in-law was the only person to whom he had sent this information. Jatinder requested him not to make any call to his mother.
The bodies were shifted to the Lok Nayak Jai Parkash Civil Hospital for post-mortem examination.
Jatinder’s father Mahender Singh, a retired policeman, had died a few months back, while Jatinder was working in the Railway Mail Service.
As per a family friend, “A few months back, Jatinder’s father had died. Today he, along with wife and daughter, was found hanging. It is very unfortunate. Jatinder was a very gentle person and we all are shocked with the step taken by him. The family had recently bought a new car and had returned from vacation three days ago. He loved his daughter but due to her health condition, the family used to remain sad. It was also Advika’s birthday today.”
Krishna Gate Police Station SHO Baljeet Singh said around 6.30 in the morning, information regarding the suicides was received.
In a note, the couple had mentioned that their daughter was unwell and they can’t bear the pain she was going through, the SHO added. “They have taken the extreme step due to the health problem of their daughter. They have not blamed any other person for the decision,” he said.
A statement of the deceased’s kin has been recorded and further action will be taken accordingly, the SHO added.
