An eight-year-old girl died on Thursday after her family of six allegedly tried to die by suicide after consuming poison at their house in Madhya Pradesh's Bhopal.
40-year-old Kishore Jatav, a contractor who lives with his family in Khajuri area, was reportedly stressed over failing to complete the contracts owing to financial problems.
On Wednesday, Jatav and his 35-year-old wife Sita consumed poison and fed poison-laced milk to their children Kanchan (15), Purva (8), Annu (10) and Abhay (12)
Purva died this morning while undergoing treatment at a hospital while her siblings are said to be in a critical condition. Their parents are out of danger.
Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Dr Narottam Mishra said the police are investigating the matter and a case has been registered.
