A suicide note was found at the scene, in which Sachin expressed his deep distress over increasing debt and insufficient income, SP Rajesh Dwivedi told the agency.
“I have no complaints with my family; they all supported me. Please sell our car and house to settle the debt so that no one can say our debt remained unpaid,” Sachin wrote in the suicide note.
As per the officials, the couple allegedly hanged themselves. They poisoned their son first and then ended their lives.
“The couple hanged themselves from ceiling fans on Tuesday night, while the child’s body was found in another room. Prima facie, it appears that the parents first poisoned their son before ending their lives,” the officer was quoted by PTI as saying.
According to police, the family lived on the second floor of their house, and the bodies were found by their relatives who live on the ground floor.
Sachin’s mother informed the police that on Tuesday evening, her son mentioned he needed to deposit Rs 5 lakh in the bank but had only managed to arrange Rs 3 lakh, which distressed him even more.
