Pune: A tragic incident unfolded in Pune. A man, drowning in debt, poisoned his wife and 9-year-old son. He then attempted to end his own life. His 14-year-old son, living in Mumbai, received a troubling message from his dad. Alarmed, he quickly called neighbors for help.

The neighbors rushed to the flat and found the man alive. They immediately contacted the police. He was taken to a private hospital for treatment. Sadly, the younger son didn’t survive.

The man had borrowed money from several lenders. He took 6 lakh and 2 lakh at a steep interest rate. He also borrowed 4 lakh from another lender. Despite paying back the principal and 9 lakh in interest, the harassment continued.

Four people have been charged with criminal intimidation. They allegedly pressured him for more money. The police are currently investigating the situation.
