Four persons were booked for abetment of suicide in this case. “The duo wanted to go to Germany and for this the deceased man gave ₹24-lakh to one of relatives who neither sent them abroad nor returned the amount. Upset over this, both took the extreme step”, said the victim’s brother. Bodies of the deceased were sent for post-mortem. The persons booked in this case are absconding and a hunt was launched to nab them, said police sources.
