Police said that the incident took place in Swaroopsar village when her husband went to work in the field in another village. The couple had four children and she took three kids with her as the fourth child went with the father, they said.

“No one was there in the house when the incident took place. The woman took her one-year-old son, and two daughters, six and four years and jumped into a nearby pond. The fourth child is safe as he went to the field with his father,” Panchu police station sub-inspector (SI) Manoj Kumar said.

We have sent the bodies to the mortuary for autopsy, he said.

The SI said that the police are yet to ascertain the reason for the alleged suicide. “We didn’t get any lead after speaking to her neighbours. An investigation is underway. We will also question her family members,” added Kumar.
