While his 16-year-old son died of his injuries, 14-year-old daughter's condition is said to be critical, they said.
His wife had also consumed poison with the man but survived.

Her statements also revealed that the couple had planned the entire episode nearly two to three days ago.
The police have also recovered a suicide note which says the man was unemployed for the past many months and that the family was going through acute financial crisis. "I was unable to pay the installments for our house and bear the expense my children's education," read the note. According to the note, he thought his children would not have a good future after his death, so he decided to kill them as well.
"The couple slit the throats of their children using a tile cutter and then consumed poison. While their 16-year-old son died, their daughter survived," Misrod Police Station Inspector Niranjan Sharma said.
The mother and daughter have been admitted to the government-run Hamidia hospital, while the bodies of the man and his son have been sent for post-mortem, he said.
A case has been registered in this connection, he added.

Jamahir's comment : This is India where people live in poverty or in middle class poverty or in misery and decide to commit suicide or die involuntarily ( ill health, hunger etc ) because they don't have money to pay back interest-based loans or like in this case because of unemployment as in the Indian economic system a person engaged in non-government work will have to work to live, or suffer. Though it is a bit better for retired government employees who get pension which though gets reduced when that person dies and that reduced pension goes to his or her family.
@Sudarshan, still think I am being an "idiotic commie" because I speak about the socio-economic deprivation of many Indians ?

I believe that in his earlier years he should have joined progressive groups that want India to become a welfare state society where such artificial and very avoidable tragedies don't occur. If his wife and daughter now survive they should join those groups at least in memory of the tragedy.
