A suicide note holding in-laws responsible for the extreme step was found.
"His wife Renu Devi had strangulated herself seven months earlier. He was under mental strain since then, as his in-laws had filed a police report alleging the demise as dowry death, SSP Rakesh Singh said.
"The bodies of all the three have been sent for post-mortem," police said.
