There was no other option but suicide. They were compelled to choose this path. The neighborhood in Hyderabad is stunned by the death of four members of the same family. The deceased are Chandrashekar Reddy (44), his wife Kavitha (35), and their two children, aged 10 and 13.

A letter was found on a table inside the house.

Not far away, the lifeless bodies of the husband and wife were found lying still. In the adjacent room, the bodies of the couple’s two children were discovered on the bed, according to police sources. The letter recovered from the house read, “I had no other way out. I was forced to end our lives. Physically and mentally devastated. Diabetes, nerve pain, and kidney ailments had worsened the suffering. So, I couldn’t bear it anymore. Please forgive me.”

Through preliminary investigations, the police learned that Chandrashekar worked as a teacher at a private college. However, he lost his job in 2023. Following that, financial difficulties began to plague the Reddy family. Day by day, the burden grew heavier. As a result, the Reddy family became increasingly entangled in distress. Mental depression consumed the Reddy couple. How to continue their children’s education, how to keep the household running, and in the midst of all this, Chandrashekar’s physical illness—all combined to gradually drown the entire family in despair. However, it remains unclear whether they had any loans or debts. Investigators are trying to ascertain this by speaking with relatives.

Preliminary assessments suggest that the couple first killed their son Vishwan and daughter Sreeetha by suffocation before taking their own lives. Vishwan was studying in the fifth grade, while Sreeetha was in the ninth grade.
