Family of Four Found Dead in Nanded as Police Probe Suspected Mass Suicide

Police say forthcoming forensic results, including CCTV analysis, will establish the sequence of deaths.

Overview

  • Ramesh Sonaji Lakhe and his wife Radhabai were found hanging at their Jawala Murar home around 8 am, while sons Umesh and Bajrang were discovered earlier on nearby railway tracks.
  • The deceased were identified as a 51-year-old farmer, his 45-year-old wife, and their sons aged 25 and 23, all from a small-scale farming household in Mudkhed tehsil.
  • Post-mortems have been completed, viscera samples preserved, and a Forensic Science Laboratory team has collected evidence as part of the inquiry.
  • Investigators are recording statements, searching for any notes, and reviewing railway CCTV to determine whether the brothers were struck by a train intentionally or accidentally.
  • A case has been registered on a relative’s complaint, potential factors such as financial strain are being examined without a confirmed motive, and local reports note Umesh’s prior role with the MNS in Mudkhed.
