Kurukshetra, December 8

A woman and her two children were found dead in their house here and her husband was booked on the charge of killing them, police said on Friday.

According to them, the incident occurred on Thursday and the man had tried to end his life by hanging, but was saved and rushed to a hospital where he is undergoing treatment.

According to Superintendent of Police, Surinder Singh Bhoria, the deceased were identified as Rina, daughter Gursifat alias Jiya (4) and son Kriyansh (1).

He said that based on a complaint by Rina’s brother, a case has been registered against her husband Rakesh, father-in-law, mother-in-law and other family members.

Rakesh was found hanging by his family on Thursday morning and rushed to a government hospital here from where he was referred to Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College in Karnal, the police officer said.

In his police complaint, Rina’s brother Sanjeev Kumar alleged that after a few years of marriage, Rina’s in-laws started pressing her to bring money as Rakesh wanted to go to the US.
