A routine family argument escalated into unimaginable tragedy in Greater Noida’s Ecotech III area, where a couple consumed poison, leading to their deaths overnight on January 28-29. Hailing from Asarwal Kala in Prayagraj’s Airport police station area, Shravana Pal and Neelam had made Sadullapur their home, unaware it would become the site of their final moments.
Alerted by cries and commotion, locals rushed the entire family to medical care. Tragically, the parents could not be saved, but their children—10-year-old Vaishnavi, 8-year-old Vaibhav, and little 4-year-old Lado—are on the mend after timely intervention. Doctors confirm the kids’ conditions have stabilized.
Law enforcement acted promptly, documenting the scene and dispatching the bodies for forensic analysis. The focus remains on unraveling the precise circumstances of the suicide, with police vowing a comprehensive inquiry into potential underlying issues like financial stress or prolonged quarrels.
As autopsy results pend, this incident serves as a stark reminder of how domestic discord can spiral out of control. Community leaders are calling for better awareness programs on conflict resolution and suicide prevention, while the orphaned children receive ongoing care.
