The 35-year-old woman, identified as Nutan, took the extreme step early today owing to marital discord.
She first pushed her minor daughters, aged 3 and 5, and then her son into the small water tank, which was about 8-foot deep, in their house in Badana village of Jhajjar district and later herself jumped into it.
Before it, the woman rang up police and said that she was fed up with her "husband's habits" and was ending the lives of her children and was going to commit suicide.
A case under relevant provisions of the law has been registered in connection with the incident, police said.
