A couple allegedly killed their six-year-old daughter and then committed suicide by hanging at their residence in the Waklan area on Sunday night.
The Shil-Daighar police reached the spot after receiving the information.
Deputy Police Commissioner, Subhash Burse said, "We were informed about the incident by relatives of the deceased. We suspect that the couple Shivram Patil and Deepika Patil first chocked their daughter Anushka Patil to death and then committed suicide by hanging from a ceiling fan."
"We are conducting an investigation in the incident," Burse said.
Before committing suicide, the couple sent a suicide letter to their relatives from their mobile phones. They have also mentioned the names of certain relatives in the suicide note.
