Man in Odisha commits suicide after killing wife and daughter due to losses in online gambling.

On a quiet Thursday morning in the city of Bhubaneswar, a tragic incident unfolded. The bodies of a man, his wife, and their 12-year-old daughter were discovered inside a car parked at a nearby playground. The local authorities were alerted and upon investigation, the deceased were identified as Sujit Ray, his wife Khusbu, and their daughter Arpita.

The family had been reported missing the previous night by a concerned citizen, and their bodies were found bearing gunshot wounds. The car was parked in an area under the jurisdiction of Lakhanpur police station in the district of Jharsuguda. The Superintendent of Police, Parmar Smit Parshottamdas, shared that initial investigations suggested that the man had first shot his wife and daughter before turning the gun on himself.

The tragic turn of events seemed to be driven by the man's overwhelming financial losses from online gambling. As per the SP, the man had incurred significant losses, which amounted to Rs 4.25 lakh on a single app. It was also revealed that he had taken out loans from various sources to fuel his gambling habit. The strains of his losses seemed to have taken a toll on him, leading to this tragic outcome.

The family's disappearance was first reported to the Orient police station at around 10:30 pm on Wednesday. Authorities used their mobile phone signals to trace their location and found them inside the car, which had its engine running and air conditioning on. The woman and her daughter were found with cloth tied over their eyes, while the man was seated in the driver's seat.

Further investigations are underway, and the police have confiscated the gun, spent bullet casings, and other pieces of evidence. The man's mobile phone has also been recovered, revealing his involvement in various online gambling platforms. This unfortunate incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of online gambling and the devastating consequences it can have on individuals and their families.
