| Mother kills two kids, commits suicide | | | 9 Aug, 2006 :AGARTALA: A 26-year-old woman killed her two kids and committed suicide by setting herself on fire on Wednesday after a quarrel with her husband about lack of food in their home, Tripura police said.
"Dipti Ghosh, wife of labourer Kalu Ghosh of Madhuban under the Amtali police station in west Tripura, killed her two kids, Parbati, 7, and Bikash, 5, by setting them on fire before she also killed herself in the same manner," a police spokesman said here.
Police recovered three charred bodies and conducted post mortem.
"The investigation so far reveals that Dipti had a quarrel with her husband Tuesday night over the scarcity of foods in the home which might have prompted her to take the extreme measure," the official said.
Police arrested Kalu who reportedly admitted that he had quarrel with his wife. "But I could not even imagine that she would resort to such an extreme step," an investigating officer quoted Kalu as saying.
Meanwhile, Purabi Das, a Class 10 student of Panisagar school in North Tripura, committed suicide by jumping in front of a speedy train on Tuesday. The reason for her action is not yet known, police added. |
