A couple from Pamal village in Raikot, Ludhiana district, Gurmeet Singh (55) and Narinder Kaur (55), allegedly died by suicide by consuming some poisonous substance when they were alone at their house late on Tuesday night.
The couple has left a suicide note, stating that they were upset due to poor financial condition of the family and poor health of the woman for over five years.
In the note, they mentioned that no one should be held responsible for their death as they were taking the step on their own.
The couple is survived by two sons and a daughter. While the daughter and one son are settled in Canada, the other son is working at a local private hospital.
The victims were found unconscious on their bed when their son returned from duty at midnight. They were rushed to a private hospital in the area, where they were declared brought dead.
SHO, Jodhan Saheb, Meet Singh, said the bodies had been handed over to their family after conducting inquest proceedings in the matter.
