According to the police, the flat was locked from inside and when they entered the house, they found the gas cylinder `partially opened` and a suicide note was also recovered from the house. As per the the house-help Kamla, the family identified as Manju (mother), Anshika and Anku (daughters) were in depression since April 2021 due to the death of the house owner (their father), that happened because of corona and Manju used to stay ill. The president of the society M. David also told ANI that the family had made a "smoke chamber" in the house with "angithi" and the police have taken the bodies with them.
