A suspected suicide pact in Hyderabad’s Amberpet area has left a neighbourhood shaken after three members of a family were found dead inside their home on Tuesday. Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Ram Raj, 55, his wife Madhavi, 50, and their 24-year-old son Shashank, as authorities work to determine what led to the tragic incident.
The discovery was made after neighbours grew concerned when the family, usually seen regularly in the locality, remained unresponsive for several hours. Repeated attempts to contact them reportedly failed, prompting residents to alert the police. Officers arrived at the residence and entered the locked house, where they found all three family members lying lifeless.
Police shifted the bodies for postmortem examination and registered a case of suspicious death. While initial findings suggest the possibility of suicide, officials said the exact sequence of events and the reasons behind the incident are still under investigation.
According to investigators, multiple angles are being examined, including the possibility of financial difficulties or personal distress contributing to the tragedy. Forensic teams conducted a detailed inspection of the house and collected evidence to help reconstruct what may have occurred before the deaths. Police are also questioning relatives and neighbours to understand the family’s recent situation and whether there were any indications of emotional or financial strain.
Authorities confirmed that no suicide note has been officially recovered so far, leaving key questions unanswered. Officials stated that more clarity is expected once postmortem reports are completed and forensic findings are analysed.
The incident has deeply unsettled residents of the area, many of whom expressed shock that such a tragedy unfolded quietly behind closed doors without visible warning signs. Police said further details will be released as the investigation progresses.
