Pune: In a tragic incident, a 45-year-old man allegedly killed his three children before committing suicide here on Tuesday. Chandrashekhar Janardan Ranavare hanged his kids -- Shreyas (6), Shivam (4) and Komal (8) -- in their home in Baner area this morning with the help of cloth ropes, Sub-Inspector M N Walekar said.
Ranavare later hanged himself, he said, adding his another daughter Dhanashree (10) escaped as the rope got loosened. His wife Varsha had left home on November 23 after a domestic fight and went to her mother`s residence, Walekar said.
However, it was not clear what was the immediate provocation for Ranavare to commit the murders, he said.
