A family of three reportedly took their own lives in Rajkot, Gujarat, on Tuesday, with initial investigations suggesting that financial troubles may have played a significant role in the tragic incident. The victims have been identified as Dilip Khakhar, his wife Smita Khakhar, and their son Nishit Khakhar.

According to local police, the family was discovered after having consumed a poisonous substance. The authorities believe that the strain of financial difficulties had become overwhelming for the Khakhar family, leading them to this drastic decision.

The police report indicated that Nishit Khakhar had allegedly borrowed money from various sources, resulting in rising debt levels for the family. This financial burden may have contributed to their emotional distress, prompting the suspected suicide pact.
