Indore Mother‑Son Duo End Lives by Poisoning After Hardship
A 62‑year‑old woman named Indira and her 47‑year‑old son Sanjay lived in Indore, India.
They were very poor and had health problems.
One day, they found a park near the police station and fell asleep there.
Later, they were taken to a hospital, but both died.
Police think they did this because they had no money and were very sad.
No note was found, but the investigation says money problems were the main reason.
Indira (62) and her son Sanjay (47) died by suicide in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
They ingested a poisonous substance near the Pardeshipura police station and were found unconscious in a park.
Both were rushed to MY Hospital; Sanjay died Wednesday evening, Indira died Thursday morning.
Police found no suicide note but cited extreme financial distress as the motive.
The family had been struggling with poverty, the mother’s husband had died, and the son was unemployed due to severe mental illness.
