A 55-year-old man allegedly died by suicide after killing his 26-year-old disabled son at Kervashe village in Ajekar.

The deceased have been identified as Krishna Poojary and his son Deepesh.

As per reports, Poojary earned a living by doing coolie-work to support his family. However, his wife has been keeping ill for the last few years and thus he found it difficult to go to work as well as care for his wife and son.

Ajekar police have filed a case in this regard.

Suicide is preventable. If you get any such thoughts, consult or seek expert help.
