Panyam (Andhra Pradesh), Nov 5 (SocialNews.XYZ) A family of four committed suicide at Kouluru village of Panyam mandal in Andhra Pradesh's Kurnool district by throwing themselves under a goods train.
Sheik Abdul Salam (45), his wife Noorjehan (43), daughter Salma (14) and son Dada Kalandar took the extreme step on Wednesday at around 11:30 a.m.
"Following their suicide, the train operators informed the Government Railway Police (GRP) about the incident and we have registered a case under CrPc Section 174," a GRP official told IANS.
According to the police, Salam was allegedly involved in a theft case earlier, and had lost his job in a gold shop.
