A couple committed suicide by consuming poison at Brindavan Colony in Mailardevpally on Tuesday night.
Mailardevpally police said that the victims, Ramesh Joshi (52) and Rajkanya Joshi (50), were from Rajasthan. According to sub-inspector L. Ravinder Naik, they had the poison soon after having dinner at around 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
The victims bolted their daughter Revathi’s room and slept in the hall. On Wednesday morning, when Revathi could not open the door, she called her neighbour Meenakshi from her room for help. Both found the victims in an unconscious state, frothing from the mouth.
“Ramesh Joshi used to work at a plastic factory. The couple was rushed to the hospital where they were declared brought dead. We did not get any suicide note. They could have taken the extreme step due to financial issues,” Mr. Naik said.
