Dehradun:
Six children from a family in Dehradun were drugged with sleeping pills by their grand-parents before they drowned in a local canal. Their grand-mother and two other relatives jumped into the same canal. Only the grand-mother survived.
Kailasho Devi is now in hospital. She has allegedly told the police that her family was worried about repaying a loan. The adults formed a suicide pact as a result of which her two daughters and six grand-children died. A male relative, Manoj, hung himself.
The police say they will file a case of murder against Kailasho Devi.
