A 27-year-old woman allegedly jumped into a well along with her four children in Lalitpur district in Uttar Pradesh's Banda, the police said on Tuesday.
The incident took place in Uldana Khurd village, under the jurisdiction of Madnapur police station, on Monday evening, senior police officer Capt. MM Beg said.
Police have recovered the bodies of Vimla, Buri (2), Arushi (7), Nayan and Roshani (4) from the well, he said.
"Prima facie, it appears to be a case of suicide but all angles will be probed," the officer said.
