SUICIDE PACT? Dhiraj had sent e-mail at 9.30am on day he was found dead

Nagpur: The death case of four of a family — Dr Sushma Rane, her husband Dhiraj and their children Dhruv (11) and Vannya (5) — has taken a curious turn on Friday.
It has now come to fore that assistant professor Dhiraj, head of the department of computer science faculty in a college, had sent an e-mail to a colleague at 9.30am on the day he was found dead along with others on Tuesday.
This revelation has now upturned the earlier theory that he was injected with anaesthetics in the early morning by his wife. Dhiraj had passed on some instructions to a male colleague regarding online classes.
Police have been working on the theory that Sushma, a doctor, had injected anaesthetics to Dhiraj and two children before trying the same method on herself for ending life. It was suspected that she had later hanged self in the adjacent room.
In a suicide note purportedly written by Sushma, she had stated that ending life was the mutual decision of the husband-wife duo. The police, however, are still not clear on the motive behind the parents ending life with their children.
The police have been able to find out, so far, that Dhiraj had developed alcohol addiction.
