A woman and her three children were found dead, hanging from an iron mesh in the ceiling at their home on Sunday afternoon, 35 kms from here.
Police said the husband, Pramod, and father-in-law, Jangjeet, were missing from their home in Nagla Gadariya in Fatehabad block here.
The bodies of the victims were discovered by the mother-in-law and the sister-in-law, after they returned home from the fields.
Finding the bodies, they shouted for help.
Neighbours, who suspect it to be a case of suicide, immediately informed the police.
The victims have been identified as Mamta (30), Junu (5), Ranjit (3) and six-month-old Ajit.
The bodies have been sent for post mortem.
Police officials said a search is on to trace the husband and his father.
