Chikkodi, Oct 8: Three members of a family in the district ended their lives together on Sunday October 7 at Kallola village.
They have been identified as Ashok Kamble (70), Nirmala Kamble (62) and Arun Kamble (40) from Yadoor village. They jumped into River Krishna together. It is said that the family had raised loans to the tune of three lac rupees from different people and cooperative societies and were under immense pressure to repay their debt.
It is said that the family was desperate as the yield from the crop was much below the expected level. The villagers said that the family members chose to kill themselves to escape from the harassment at the hands of lenders.
