Brothers Kill Parents, Then Themselves Over Financial Stress
In a small village in Maharashtra, India, two brothers, Umesh and Bajrang, allegedly strangled their parents, Ramesh and Radhabai, while they were sleeping.
After that, the brothers went to a nearby train track and ended their own lives by jumping in front of a moving train.
The police think the brothers did this because they were very stressed about money.
Ramesh, one of the parents, was sick and couldn't work, which made it hard for the family to make ends meet.
The police are still looking into what happened to understand it better.
Two brothers, Umesh (25) and Bajrang (23), allegedly strangled their parents, Ramesh (51) and Radhabai (45), while they slept.
The brothers then committed suicide by jumping in front of a moving train near Mugat railway station.
The reported motive was financial stress, as Ramesh was suffering from paralysis and chronic illness.
The bodies of the parents were found on a cot at their home in Jawala Murar village.
The police are investigating the case and have questioned a shopkeeper who sold the brothers betel nut sachets before their suicide.
