In Nashik's Malwadi village, 41-year-old home guard Govind Shewale allegedly murdered his wife Komal (35), daughter Harshali (9), and son Shivam (2), then died by suicide.
The tragedy came to light when relatives noticed Govind's WhatsApp status saying "Heartfelt tributes," contacted other family members in the village, and then learned about the deaths.

Relatives found all four family members dead and called the police right away.
Investigators believe Komal and the kids were strangled before Govind hanged himself.
