TIRUMALA, NOV. 13. In a suicide pact, three of a four-member family have perished here. The housewife, however, has survived the attempt. According to the Tirumala Two Town police, Mr. Bala Narasimhulu, his wife and two children came to Tirumala on November 10 and stayed in one of the TTD free choultries. On Monday night, they decided to end their lives and consumed poison in their room. While three of them - Mr. Bala Narasimhulu (35) and his sons - Vamsi (10) and Manikanta (9) - died, Mrs. Shobha Rani (28) escaped. She regained consciousness late in the night, and on seeing the bodies of her beloved ones, she shouted for help.

All the four were immediately rushed to TTD-run Aswini hospital. A medical team attended on them, but the attempt to save them was futile.

The police said that Bala Narasimhulu was a native of Gadwal town in Mahabubnagar district. Unable to clear debts, the family decided to end their lives, according to a suicide note.
