A couple died by suicide due to a misunderstanding between them in Pooniwal village in Punjab's Patiala district. Gurmeet Singh took his own life unaware that his wife Manpreet Kaur had died by suicide days earlier. After the unfortunate turn of events, their three children are now orphaned.
The couple had marital issues and the wife had walked out of their home with the three children. Gurmeet thought she had eloped and decided to take the extreme step, police said.
Manpreet had left with their two daughters aged 20 and 10, and the 17-year-old son after a fight. She took the children to Gurdwara Jyoti Swarup in Fatehgarh Sahib. There, she asked them to continue on their two-wheeler, saying she would follow on foot. The children reached their maternal grandmother's house Bhanupoli village near Anandpur Sahib.
On July 3, Gurmeet was found hanging at his home and SHO Gurpreet Singh Handa said Manpreet's body was retrieved from Bhakra canal two days earlier.
A case has been registered against Manpreet's mother and brother, and further investigations are underway, Singh added.
