Nagpur: Severe financial crisis is likely to be behind the suicide pact in which three members of Narnaware family had jumped into the Vainganga river from a bridge at Ambhora last week. The bodies of Shyam, his wife Savita and their daughter Samita alias Sameeksha were fished out from the river on Sunday.
Police said the suicide seemed to be a pre-planned one as the Narnaware family had left behind their valuables at home. Shyam’s gold ring, his wife’s gold chain and their daughter’s silver anklet were found during searches at their residence by Veltur police. Savita had even left behind her mobile phone at home but Shyam took his handset which led to their identification.
One of the relatives shared with police that few days ago Savita had asked her to distribute the jewellery among them.
Police said Shyam was earning Rs14,000 as a cashier when he took a loan of Rs75,000. Later, the salary reduced to Rs10,000. The family also paid Rs4,000 as rent. It’s learnt Savita was suffering from sickle cell.
Veltur police station’s in-charge Anand Kaviraj said no suicide note could be found. Nothing suspicious or adverse was found against any of the three deceased except their weak financial condition. A case of accidental death was registered by police earlier.
