Tragic Incident in Faridabad: Father and Four Children Die by Suicide

Heartbreaking Suicide in Faridabad

Faridabad, Haryana: A tragic event unfolded in Faridabad on Tuesday when a 45-year-old man took his own life by jumping in front of a train, along with his four children. The incident resulted in the death of all five family members in mere seconds. Disturbing details have emerged regarding this case. The father, identified as Manoj Mahato from Bihar, reportedly made this devastating decision following a dispute with his wife.

Reports indicate that he left home the previous morning after an argument with his spouse, claiming he was taking their children to a park. He later treated them to cold drinks and snacks before leading them to the railway tracks. In a heart-wrenching turn of events, witnesses noted that the children attempted to break free from their father's grip as he held them tightly.

The tragedy occurred around 12:55 PM when the Golden Temple Express was en route to Ballabgarh station. Eyewitnesses saw the father walking along the tracks with his children, holding two by the hand while carrying the other two on his shoulders. Despite the train's driver sounding the horn repeatedly, the father remained on the tracks and jumped as the train approached.

The deceased children were identified as Murli (5), Chotu (3), Pawan (10), and Karu (9). During the recovery of the bodies from the tracks, police discovered a note in Mahato's pocket containing his wife's phone number. According to Inspector Rajpal from the GRP, the motive behind this tragic act may have been linked to suspicions of infidelity on the part of his wife.
