Raipur:
A poverty-stricken woman first poisoned her three children and
then committed suicide by consuming pesticide at their home in
Chhattisgarh's Bilaspur district. Two of the kids died while the
third is battling for life, police said Monday.
Sunita, 32, poisoned her children - Jintu Kumari, 8, Himanshu, 5,
and Himesh, 2, - and then herself consumed pesticide late Sunday
when her family members, including her husband Shiv Kumar
Suryavanshi, were not at home in Nevra village in Bilaspur
district, about 225 km from here.
The villagers took Sunita and her children to a local hospital
where she, Jintu and Himesh were declared dead while Himanshu was
reported critical.
Local police officials who were investigating the case said
poverty prompted Sunita to take the extreme step.
