Four to five years ago, the girl had fallen from the second floor of the building and her treatment was going on. She was also suffering from bouts of 'fits', the senior police officer said.

Due to these neurological problems, Suresh had to leave his job and stayed at home for her care. His wife Ram Devi worked in a vegetable market as a cleaner. It is early to conclude that the father had killed his daughter before suicide, police said.

Bodies of both have been kept in hospital mortuary for post-mortem, the police added.
