Why did the family took such a drastic step, is not yet clear. The police is trying to find out whether this matter is related to financial constraints, family dispute or any social pressure.
The Police has started investigation by interogatting the people around including the landlord and the neighbours. The Police is trying to find out whether any stressful situation was witnessed recently. Digital investigation of mobile phones and social media accounts and the family are also being probed.
The incidents of mass suicide point to the lack of mental health awareness in the country. It has been often found that families are unable to seek help due to social pressure, financial burden or mental stress. Therefore there is a need to create awareness among people.
