Sikar deaths: How did five members of a family, including children, die?

In what appears to be a case of mass suicide, five members of a family in Sikar of Jaipur district in Rajasthan were found dead on Saturday morning.

According to media reports, a woman and four of her children—three sons and a daughter—died by suicide after consuming poison at Anirudh Residency on Palwas Road in Sikar.

The woman and her children allegedly took the extreme step over a dispute with her husband. A packet containing some poisonous substance was reportedly recovered from the scene.

Soon the police were informed about the incident.
