Gurugram man poisons wife and four children, then attempts suicide
A man in Gurugram allegedly poisoned his wife and four children before attempting to kill himself; investigators say domestic issues may be the motive as they probe the scene.
In Gurugram, a man is accused of poisoning his wife and four children before attempting to take his own life, in a case that has shocked a quiet neighbourhood. The family was found unconscious on the first floor of their home in Wazirpur village around 9:30 pm on Saturday when the brother of the accused returned home. Emergency responders rushed the victims to a hospital, but all five family members were pronounced dead.
Police say the accused survived and is hospitalized, currently unfit for questioning. Investigators have collected evidence from the crime scene and are focusing on domestic problems as the likely motive, with officials saying the motive appears to be domestic issues. The case is being treated as a complex tragedy, and investigators are awaiting the suspect's recovery to proceed with questioning.
Authorities stressed that discussing suicides can be triggering but emphasized that such tragedies are preventable, and helplines are available for those in distress. The incident has renewed calls for mental health resources and support systems for families facing domestic distress, as neighbours described a peaceful home prior to the incident.
Officials said autopsies will determine the exact causes of death and that the investigation will continue once the suspect recovers. The community remains in shock, and authorities are urging anyone facing domestic problems to seek help before violence escalates.
