Middle-aged couple commit suicide

They finally broke open the door of the bedroom and found their parents in an unconscious state in the room. Tejpal was lying on the floor and Suresh was lying on the bed. They then called a doctor from the neighbourhood, who declared them dead. According to the police, an empty bottle of Aluminum Sulphate and a pesticide known as Sulphaas was found near the bed. A suicide note was also found in the room.

The suicide note, which contained a list of creditors and debtors, stated that the couple were not getting the amount that was due to them even as creditors were breathing down their neck for payment, so they were forced to end their life. They had taken a loan from money lenders who were pressuring them to pay up, the police said.

It is believed that the deaths occurred due to intake of Sulphas but the post-mortem report is awaited. The police are conducting an inquiry into the incident.
