According to police officials, a PCR call was received at the Bharat Nagar police station regarding a case of suicide, wherein four members of the same family had ingested poison in a factory that is at Sangam Park.

During preliminary inquiry, the police found Singh, who runs a bike horn manufacturing unit at the aforementioned location, arrived at the shed in the factory around 8 am along with his wife and both their children, a 16-year-old son and a 15-year-old daughter.
