Nagu Singh (30), Santoshbai (23) and their son Yuvraj Singh (5) were found hanging at their home, while their one-year-old son, whose name is not ascertained, was found lying dead on the bed, police said.

The older son was hanged to death, the younger son was strangled, said Jhalwar SP Richa Tomar.

Family dispute is prima facie believed to be the cause of the incident, Tomar said.

The incident came to light when the children's aunt visited their home on Tuesday morning and found all four family members dead. She informed other relatives and neighbours, who rushed them to a hospital in Chaumahla, where doctors declared them brought dead, the SP added.

Nagu Singh was a farmer, while his father, a truck driver, was away from home at the time of the tragedy, she said.

The police handed over the bodies to the family after post-mortem and lodged a case under Section 194 of the BNSS.
