Junagadh: Upset over his wife delivering a girl for the fourth time, a 35-year-old farm labourer on Wednesday afternoon killed his three minor daughters by pushing them into a well in Khambhalia village in Junagadh district of Gujarat, police said. The man, identified as Rasik Solanki, hanged himself outside his house after killing his daughters, said police inspector M C Chudasama.

The bodies of his three daughters--Anjali (7), Riya (5) and Jalpa (3)- were found inside the well near Solanki's house. Solanki struggled to make both ends meet and would occasionally serve as a Gram Rakshak Dal (GRD) jawan for local police on a fixed honorarium. "Solanki's relatives told us that he was upset after his wife delivered a fourth girl just ten days back. He was also suffering from financial crunch," the officer said.
