Preliminary reports suggested that Parkar, who worked in the Marathi TV industry, was not getting much work these days and her husband too was facing problems in his business, said senior police inspector Shekhar Bagde. The incident apparently took place between 8 and 9 this morning when her husband had gone to the gym.

On return, he found the door of the flat locked from inside. When it was broken open, the bodies of Pradnya and Shruti, who studied in Class 12, were found. Further probe is on.

A Mumbai Mirror report quoted a police officer as saying, “We think a financial crisis led to the murder-suicide, but a probe is under way. She said no one else should be blamed for this.”
