A constable, his wife and their minor daughter allegedly committed suicide by jumping from the 12th floor of a residential building in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, police said.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the couple might have taken the extreme step in the heat of the moment following a quarrel, inspector NR Vaghela from Sola police station said.

The deceased have been identified as Kuldipsinh Yadav, who was posted at Vastrapur police station, wife Riddhi and their three-year-old daughter Akankshi.
