The man was a real estate, his neighbours said, alleging that he was under pressure from his relatives over a property dispute.

Police said they suspect that the man killed his wife and two children before dying by suicide.

Demanding immediate arrest of those who forced the man to take the extreme step, the locals protested and stopped the police from sending the bodies for post-mortem. They relented as the police assured strong action.

A case has been registered and an investigation is underway, police said.
