Khammam (Telangana): Police on Friday found four dead bodies in Sriram Nagar colony of Khammam town on Thursday night. They claim that the deceased is of a family that has allegedly committed suicide in their house.


According to reports, the deceased identified Ram Prasad, his wife Suchitra and their two daughters were found dead in their house.


"The family committed suicide by consuming poison-mixed biryani after 10.30pm on Thursday. Reasons for suicide are yet to be known. We are gathering details from the spot," Khammam Police said.


Ram Prasad was a private teacher and was presently working as a supervisor in a granite company.

Further investigation is underway.

In another similar case, A 24-year-old man wanted in connection with the killing a businessman in Andhra Pradesh last year has been arrested in Thane district of Maharashtra, police said on Thursday. The accused, Salim Rashid Shaikh, a native of Maharashtra's Ahmednagar district, was spotted in Mumbra township here and nabbed on Tuesday, Thane crime branch's senior police inspector Pradeep Sharma said.

The victim, Mahindra Singh (50), who ran a business of machine tools, was shot dead by some motorcycle-borne men on November 3, 2018, at Fatehkhanpet in AP's Nellore district when he was returning home after closing his shop, the police said.

A case was then registered in Nellore against six persons, including the victim's nephew Vikram Singh and the latter's associates, under Indian Penal Code Sections 302 (murder) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) and the Arms Act. While Vikram Singh and two others were arrested earlier, Shaikh was nabbed by Thane police on Tuesday, Sharma said, adding that two more accused in the case were still absconding.
