The couple left behind a suicide note, in which they expressed their deep regret for not being able to provide a better future for their son. They also mentioned the online gambling debts as the main reason for their extreme step.
The police have launched an investigation into the incident and are looking into the son’s involvement in the online gambling activities. They are also trying to track down the loan sharks who were harassing the couple.
The incident has once again brought to light the dangers of online gambling and its devastating effects on families. It serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking help and support when faced with financial difficulties, rather than resorting to drastic measures.
The entire village is in mourning for the loss of Ramesh and Latha, and many are calling for stricter regulations on online gambling to prevent such tragedies from happening in the future. The couple’s son, who is currently in shock and disbelief over his parents’ deaths, is being provided with counseling and support during this difficult time.
