Meanwhile, Naresh did not go to work on Friday morning and shot his wife and children with the 9 mm pistol he had brought with him earlier. Soon after the incident, the accused reportedly died by suicide by shooting himself.

However, office staff went to his house when he did not reach the office and found four people in a pool of blood and informed the police immediately. Thereafter, the bodies were shifted to the hospital for post-mortem, as per the police report.

It is speculated that Gunman Naresh was in debt due to online betting. Following this, there was a fight between the husband and wife.
