Foreclosure notice: Three members of family attempt suicide

CHALAKUDY: Three members of a family attempted suicide in Koratty after they received a foreclosure notice from the Co-operative Bank. Kathikudam native Bhagyalakshmi (46), her son Athul Krishna (10), and mother-in-law Thangamani (69) are undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Angamaly. Thangamani's condition is critical. The incident happened on Sunday night.

Bhagyalakshmi added sleeping pills to the payasam she made, gave it to her son and mother, and then ate it herself. When Bhagyalakshmi's husband Vatsan reached home, he found the three in a state of exhaustion. He then immediately rushed them to the hospital in Chalakudy and later to Angamaly with the help of neighbors.
