Tragic Bikaner family: Parents poison daughter and commit suicide, leaving son alive | Jaipur News

Jaipur: A couple allegedly poisoned their two children and died by suicide after slitting their wrists and taking an overdose of medicines at Jainarayan Vyas Colony in Bikaner on Tuesday. While the couple and their 7-year-old daughter died, their 14-year-old son was hospitalized in critical condition. He is currently being treated and his life is out of danger.
The deceased were identified as Rahul Maru45, his wife Ruchi and their daughter Aaradhya. Her son Chaitanya survived and is undergoing treatment. A three-page suicide note left by Rahul said he was suffering from depression due to overwhelming debts.

According to police, the incident came to light when Chaitanya called his paternal aunt and reported that he was feeling sleepy. The aunt, a teacher, immediately rushed to their home and found the bodies of her brother, sister-in-law and niece in a room. Bikaner Inspector General of Police Omprakash said an FSL (Forensic Science Laboratory) team was hastily deployed to collect evidence from the crime scene.
“Some antidepressants and other medications were found at the site,” the IG said. “We suspect that Rahul gave his children an overdose of these drugs before he and his wife slit their wrists and consumed the same substances.” Police said Rahul, a wholesaler of medical drugs, had access to such substances . The suicide note is currently under review but is said to detail how Rahul became overwhelmed by debt and fell into depression as a result.
