A couple and their two children were found dead at their house in Vakkam on Tuesday, police said.

They were found hanging inside the house on Tuesday morning, according to police.

The deceased have been identified as Anilkumar (55), wife Sheeja (50), and their two sons, both in their twenties.

Police said that, prima facie, it appears to be a case of suicide.

"It is suspected that Anilkumar was facing financial issues. An investigation is under way. No suicide note has been recovered from the house thus far," a police official said.

The incident came to light after neighbours entered the house, as none of the family members had been seen outside, police added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
