A tragic incident occurred on Sunday when a couple from Maujpur village in Mohali district, India, along with their three minor children, jumped into the Bhakra canal near Rajpura in what police are investigating as a possible suicide pact. Eyewitnesses reported that the couple, aged 40 and 38, first threw their children — two daughters, aged 13 and 11, and a seven-year-old son — into the canal before jumping in themselves. While the parents were rescued by locals, the children drowned due to the strong current. A team of local divers later recovered the bodies of the siblings. Patiala police have registered a case against the children's paternal grandparents based on the father's statement, which alleges that ongoing harassment from the grandparents led to this tragic decision. The investigation is ongoing, focusing on the family dynamics and any disputes that may have contributed to the incident. The bodies of the deceased children have been sent to Rajpura civil hospital for post-mortem examination.
