TUMAKURU: Five members of a family were found dead in Sadashivanagar here in a suspected case of a suicide pact, police said on Monday.
Financial problems and alleged harassment by money lenders are believed to be the reason behind the extreme step.

The other accused are, Khalandar, his daughter Sania, his son Shahbaz, and their neighbour Shabana and her daughter Sania, who were allegedly believed to harassed them.
Police also obtained a video made by Gharib Sab before hanging himself, requesting state Home Minister G Parameshwara and police officers to punish those who forced them to take the drastic step.
Sab said in the video that he hailed from Lakkenahalli village in Shira Taluk of Tumakuru. He was selling ‘Kabab’ for a livelihood. Sab was living in abject poverty and had borrowed money from many people, including Khalandar, who allegedly used to harass him and his family members.
