The Kothrud police suspect that businessman Chandmal Agarwal (46), wife, son Vishal (11) and Karina (14) consumed poison two days ago as they were facing financial problems.

“We found a suicide note saying they were committing suicide as they could not bear the mental pressure,” said Inspector Chandrakant Ghodke.

Building security guard, Sudam, said: “Their door was locked for the last two days.”
