The Virar police on Friday evening recovered the bodies of a mother and son, who allegedly committed suicide in their flat in Virar. The victims, 42-year-old Saraswati Chougule and her 25-year-old-son Vinod Chougule, resided in Sainath Nagar, Virar (E).

Preliminary investigation reveals that they committed suicide by consuming poison. Their bodies were found lying on the floor when one of the neighbours peeped in from the window at around 8.15 pm. He first alerted the other neighbours, then informed the relatives of the deceased and later the police. Before the police arrived, the neighbours succeeded in breaking down the door and rushed them both to the hospital. Doctors declared them dead on arrival.
