In a shocking turn of events, seven members of a family were discovered dead inside a parked car in Panchkula, Haryana, late Monday night.
The victims, identified as businessman Deshraj Mittal, his wife, their son Praveen Mittal, Praveen’s wife, and their three teenage children, allegedly died by suicide.
Police investigations suggest financial hardships might have driven the family to take this extreme step. Authorities received an emergency call around midnight regarding suspicious activity near a house in Sector 27. Upon arrival, officers found the family members in a semi-conscious state. They were rushed to Ojas Hospital, but tragically, all succumbed.
Preliminary forensic findings indicate poisoning as the cause of death. The family, originally from Uttarakhand, was reportedly struggling with mounting debts from their tours and travel business. Panchkula Deputy Commissioner of Police Himadree Kaushik confirmed that a detailed probe is underway.
This heartbreaking incident raises concerns about the rising pressures of financial instability and mental health issues within families.
