Tragic end to marital dispute in Patiala

A couple in their 40s from Patiala's Nabha block died by suicide after a domestic dispute—he was found at home, and her body was later recovered from the Bhakra Canal.
Their three children have been left without parents.

TL;DR

Mother left kids at gurdwara

Before her death, the mother left their kids at a gurdwara, where they spent the night before reaching their grandparents.
The father, upset over her disappearance, filed a police complaint against his in-laws and died by suicide just hours later, leaving behind a video message blaming them.
Police have now registered a case of abetment to suicide against the in-laws as investigations continue.
