The incident took place at Shanti Nagar village in Aroli police station limits, 70 km from here, said an official.
Shrinivas Vyankat Edupungati (58) allegedly killed his wife Sripadmalata (54) and son Chandrashekhar (29) in the early hours while they were asleep at home.
Between 4 and 5 am, CCTV footage showed Shrinivas moving about the house. The wife was strangling with a piece of rope while the son was smothered with a pillow before Shrinivas hanged himself from the ceiling fan.
Chandrashekhar's wife found her husband in an unconscious state around 6.30 am and alerted police.
