Pune, Feb 17 (UNI): Due to the heavy losses in the business, a trader killed his wife and two daughters and hanged himself to the ceiling of his apartment today.

Giving details Hemant Bhat, Senior Inspector at Uttam Nagar police station of Warje area said, “The body of a 38-year-old man was found hanging from the ceiling of his apartment while his wife and two daughters were found dead on the bed, with the police suspecting that he committed suicide after killing the three due to financial woes.”

Bhat added that the family stayed in the Warje area. The deceased were identified as Nilesh Chaudhary, his wife Nilam (33), their daughters Shravani (9) and Shreya (7). Nilesh had a plastic remoulding business and was in financial crisis. A suicide note mentioned that he was taking the extreme step due to financial difficulties.

"Nilesh was found hanging from the ceiling in the flat last night, while his wife and daughters were found dead on the bed with some froth in the mouth," Bhat said adding, "We suspect that Nilesh Chaudhary, before committing suicide, might have made his wife and daughters consume some poisonous substance and later strangled them."

"We got alert from his neighbours," the official said. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem. The exact cause of the death of Nilam and her daughters will be known once the autopsy report comes, Bhat said.
