Man kills seven of family, commits suicide

The only earning member in the family, Kanat, a resident of Nani Kosbadi village in Dharampur taluka, was depressed and for the past few months, had not been going to work, sub-inspector S J Pandya said.

“The reason for such a drastic step is not yet known, but after talking to his brother and villagers we came to know that he was mentally unstable. Earlier, he worked as farm labourer in sugarcane fields. Further probe is on,” said Kanat.
