ALLAHABAD: Five members of a family, including three children, were found dead in a locked house in Allahabad on Monday. A man was found hanging from a ceiling fan, his wife's body was in the fridge. The bodies of two young girls, believed to be the couple's daughters, were found in a suitcase and in an almirah. The body of a third daughter was in another room.
Police say the house was bolted from inside and they had to break through the door. "It seems that the man, Manoj Kushwaha, killed his wife and three daughters, and later committed suicide," said police officer Nitin Tiwari.
Police say the killings could be because of a family dispute or the man's suspicion that his wife was having an affair.
Last month, a Madurai woman killed her two children by suffocating them in a plastic bag before hanging herself. The woman left a note accusing her husband of humiliating and abusing her in front of their children over false allegations.
Earlier in July, six members of a family were found dead at Hazaribagh in Jharkhand. While two bodies were found hanging, the other two were found with their throats slit. A third person was pushed from the roof of the apartment and a baby was allegedly poisoned. One of the suicide notes found said the family had a debt of Rs. 50 lakh and there was no way they could repay.

Idukki (Kerala), Apr 4 (PTI): A local Congress leader in this hill district on Friday resigned from the grand old party in protest against its stance on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill.
Benny Peruvanthanam, general secretary of the Idukki District Congress Committee (DCC), resigned from the party, accusing it of neglecting the Christian minority and taking a pro-Muslim stance on the Munambam issue.
"Congress has neglected the Christian minority community for years, while only appeasing Muslims. In protest of this approach, I am resigning from the Congress party," Benny told reporters.
He stated that he had raised the issue within party forums and urged for changes, but no action was taken.
"The situation has reached a point where it’s impossible to move forward, so I have resigned from the post of DCC secretary and from the party as well," he added.
Peruvanthanam also criticised the Congress leadership for its negative stance regarding the concerns raised by the KCBC and Catholic Church organisations. However, he stated that he has not aligned with any other political party now.
The Congress leadership has yet to comment on the matter.
The Munambam residents, strongly supported by the Catholic Church, have been protesting for the past 174 days for revenue rights over their properties, allegedly claimed by the Waqf Board.
The Christian community has significant influence in the Idukki district.
