Family Commits Suicide Due to Debt Problems
Neelpath in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh – In a shocking incident, a family of four has tragically ended their lives due to debt-related distress. Bhupendra Vishwakarma and his wife Ritu Vishwakarma were found dead along with their two young children, Rishiraj (9) and Hiruduraj (3).
According to the police, the Vishwakarma family took this extreme step due to mounting debt problems and the emotional distress caused by harassment from lending companies. The suicide note recovered from the scene suggests that the family was subjected to blackmail and threats.
Bhupendra Vishwakarma, in his poignant note, revealed how he had resorted to online means to support his family but ended up falling victim to a scam.

The family, unable to bear the emotional trauma, made the heart-wrenching decision to end their lives.
Upon receiving information about the incident, the police immediately rushed to the spot and recovered the bodies. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination, and an investigation is underway to gather more details surrounding the tragedy.
