Berhampur: In a horrific incident, a man committed suicide after allegedly killing his wife and 10-month-old son at Putabagada under Chamakhandi police limits of Berhampur in Ganjam district.
The deceased has been identified as Srujan Pradhan.
Srujan Pradhan’s relatives found his body hanging from a ceiling fan Wednesday morning while his wife and child were lying dead in a pool of blood, said the sources.
