Saxena said that they were rushed to a nearby hospital where the mother and the two children were declared dead by doctors while the husband was hospitalised.

The family moved to the village a few years ago and Mantole ran a small eatery joint. The neighbours alerted the police in the morning when the family members did not open their gate nor responded to phone calls.
