A man allegedly murdered four members of his family in Bhopal before taking his own life on Monday, according to ANI. The victims, identified by The Hawk as Saraswati Sahu, 50, Somlata Sahu, 29, Kriti Sahu, 10, and Khush Sahu, 6, were found in their residence in the Malikhedi area.
The bodies of the four family members were discovered with their throats slit. The man, identified by The Hawk as 35-year-old Narendra Sahu, was found near the Sukhisewaniyan railway tracks, where his body had been split into two parts after he jumped in front of a train.
Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Sanjeev Pathak told ANI that the deceased had the keys to the house, suggesting he committed the murders before heading to the tracks. No suicide note has been found so far, reported The Hawk.
