“We recovered a suicide note, which appears to be penned by Kunal Trivedi, saying he was under the influence of black magic,” inspector H B Vaghela said.
According to media reports, Kunal used to work as divisional manager in a private insurance company.
The note has been sent to the forensic laboratory to verify the handwriting.
The note further said he (Kunal) told his family members that he was under the spell of black magic, but they did not believe him and instead attributed his problems to his alcohol habit.
Even his drinking was due to the influence of black magic, Kunal purportedly said in the note.
The note also said the family was not facing any financial strain. In fact, Kunal Trivedi had lent Rs 14.5 lakh to some people in Madhya Pradesh, inspector Vaghela added.
Bodies of the deceased persons were sent to Civil hospital in Asarwa for postmortem. The case is being probed from various angles, inspector Vaghela said.
