Four members of a single family died by suicide after land sale dispute in Bihar

In Bihar's Vaishali district, three people have died after four members of a single family consumed poison due to a dispute regarding the sale of land, according to a report by Amar Ujala. This heartbreaking incident occurred in Premraj village under the Gorol police station area, where a dispute over selling land has taken such a massive form.

In this tragic incident, Nirmala Devi (55 years), her daughter-in-law Seema Devi (35 years), and grandson Munna Kumar (12 years) have died. Meanwhile, the family's 15-year-old granddaughter Rishika is in an extremely critical condition after consuming poison. Rishika has been immediately admitted to the hospital, where she is undergoing treatment under medical supervision and is hovering between life and death.

According to information received from local residents, all members of the family consumed poison on Thursday night after having dinner and subsequently went to sleep. By Friday morning, when no one from the household came out, neighbours suspected that something untoward had happened. When villagers entered the house to investigate, all four members were found in an unconscious state. At that time, three members had died and only one girl was breathing.

The cause behind this entire incident is believed to be the dispute over selling land. According to the report, Nirmala Devi's son Rahul was continuously selling land. On Thursday as well, he had gone out somewhere after selling land. Other members of the family were experiencing great distress due to this land-selling activity, and a dispute was ongoing within the family regarding this matter. It is suspected that all four members took this step due to this dispute.

As soon as the incident was reported, chaos ensued in the village and a large number of villagers gathered at the spot. Subsequently, teams from the Gorol police station and other nearby police stations also reached the scene. District and block-level officials also arrived at the site. The police have inspected the scene and an investigation into the case has been initiated.

Gorol police station in-charge Sunil Kumar stated that preliminary investigations indicate the deaths were caused by consuming poison. The police have started investigating all aspects. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem. He stated that the complete situation of this incident will become clear only after the post-mortem report and further investigation.

The incident has cast a shadow of grief over the entire area. Locals are also in shock as four members of a single family took the step of dying by suicide in this manner. Currently, the police are focusing on various aspects of the investigation to reach the root of the dispute.
