Hyderabad: Four members of a family from West Bengal were found dead at their house in Secunderabad in Hyderabad, police said today.
Police suspect the family to have committed suicide due to financial issues.

"They are suspected to have consumed cyanide and died. The exact reason for taking the extreme step is still not clear. It may be due to some financial problems. The matter is under investigation," Mahankali Police Station Inspector B Ramesh said.
