Cuttack: An elderly couple, who had allegedly attempted suicide along with their son by consuming pesticide, succumbed while undergoing treatment at the SCB medical college and hospital (MCH) in Odisha’s Cuttack city on Sunday.

The deceased have been identified as Uma Charan Panda (84) and his wife Sarojini (76). The incident had taken place on Thursday night.

Condition of their son Soumya Ranjan (4o) is stable, hospital sources said.
