A village in Maharashtra's Sangli district is shocked by the death by suicide of nine members of a family
Shocked by the death of nine members of a family in Maharashtra's Sangli district, residents of village Mhaisal on Monday recalled that the brothers, Popat Vanmore and Manik Vanmore, often used to say that they would be receiving "hefty money" from a company abroad.
Nine members of a family of the Vanmore brothers were found dead in Mhaisal earlier on Monday. Police suspect it to be a case of a suicide pact, while early probe suggests the brothers had heavily borrowed money from various people.
"Both the families were educated as one brother (Manik Vanmore) was a veterinary doctor while the other (Popat Vanmore) was a teacher. Popat's daughter was employed with a bank in Kolhapur. It is shocking that the entire family has taken such an extreme step," a villager said.
He recalled that the bothers would not mix much with others in the village.
