Six persons of a family including four toddler boys were, on Monday, found dead under mysterious circumstances in their bed room at Gol-Neri village (Jhadoli area) in Udaipur district.
Four of the deceased were allegedly hanging from the ceiling fan hook, and two were lying dead on the bed when the police from Gogunda Thana broke open the door early this morning on the information of villagers, its SHO Yogendra Vyas told SNS when contacted.
The deceased were identified as a couple Prakash Gameti, 35 years, his wife Durga, 32, and four sons : Ganesh, Pushkar, Roshan (all below five years) and a four month old baby boy, the SHO said.
The prima facie the police considered it as a case of mass suicides. However, forensic science experts were called to probe the case. The head of the family Prakash, who returned from Gujarat a few months ago, was daily wage earner in a private kitchen and he (Prakash) probably took this extreme step due to poverty and joblessness.
