Right before the fateful incident, Mishra while taking to social media wrote, "May God spare even enemy's children from this disease... I am not able to save the children, I do not want to live anymore."
As soon as the police received the information about the incident, they rushed to the spot. Police broke the locked door and in a bid to save the lives of the four people rushed to the spot. However, their lives could not be saved and all four died during treatment.
According to multiple reports, Mishra also left a suicide letter where he wrote, “We are facing trouble for the past five years. ...we have decided to end our lives." Additional police superintendent Sameer Yadav said that after seeing the social media post some friends rushed to their house but they found it was locked from the inside. “They tried to open the gate and informed the police about it," he added.
Family's relatives also spoke to the police and said that the couple tried their best to get their sons treated but their condition was deteriorating.
