Police probing suicides by three members of a family — a 51-year-old man on July 6 and his 46-year-old wife and 22-year-old daughter eight days later — say they are yet to establish why the man took the extreme step. Police identified the deceased as Hari Shetty, who worked as a tax consultant, his wife Veena Shetty, who was employed in sales at a private company, and their daughter, Yashika, who was pursuing her MBA. The couple’s second daughter, Yashika’s twin, studies law in Chandigarh but was home when the two women consumed poison in another room. “The man, Hari Shetty, committed suicide on July 6, after consuming poison at a guesthouse in Gurgaon’s Sector 53. It appears that the woman and her daughter had been depressed because of her husband’s death, and took the extreme step for this reason.
