Unable to cope with the loss of Prakash, Prasanna and her children allegedly consumed pesticide along with their meals. When there was no response from the house, local residents grew suspicious and rushed the trio to the Government Hospital.

The 13-year-old girl died while undergoing treatment at the hospital. As Prasanna’s condition worsened, her family members attempted to shift her to Hyderabad for better treatment, but she died on the way. The condition of her son remained critical.
