Five members of a single family, including a couple and their three minor children, were found dead in their home. The local police and forensic experts have launched an extensive investigation to uncover the mystery behind this extreme step.

Details of the Tragedy: The deceased have been identified as 35-year-old Manish, his 32-year-old wife Seema, their 2-year-old son Prateek, and two daughters—Honey (5) and Priyanshi (4). Manish, a farmer by profession, lived in Khapparpur village. The tragedy came to light on Tuesday morning when the family failed to step out of their house for a long time. Upon checking, neighbors and relatives discovered the five bodies lying motionless inside the room.

The bodies have been sent for post-mortem, and forensic evidence has been collected from the site to determine the exact cause of death.
