Couple, daughter commit suicide

Mahbubnagar: A couple and their 21-year-old daughter allegedly committed suicide today in Mahbubnagar district, a police official said. Police suspect that the three persons, who resided in Nawabpet town of Mahbubnagar, took the extreme step due to financial constraints.

Laxmi Narayana (50), his wife Alivelu (45) and their daughter Supraja allegedly ended their lives by consuming a pesticide at a roadside on the outskirts of Nawabpet town, sub-inspector of police Pravin Kumar told PTI.

"The family was facing financial problems and they had taken some loans. The couple was planning their daughter's marriage," the SI said, based on preliminary probe.

The three had gone to a temple and while returning home they apparently consumed the pesticide, he said. Some locals noticed them lying on the roadside this morning.

They found the couple to be already dead, Kumar said. The locals tried to shift Supraja to a hospital but she died on the way, he said.
