Prabhat Sinha, 50, attacked his children and hung himself three to four days back but the incident came to light Tuesday when his neighbours approached the police after a foul smell started emanating from his flat.
"Before hanging himself, Sinha attacked his two children with a blunt object. While his 24-year-old daughter Shivangi died, his 14-year-old son Siddharth managed to survive the attack and was found in semi-unconscious state inside the flat," police spokesperson Anand Srivastava told reporters here.
"It appears the incident took place three-four days ago. We are waiting for Siddharth to give his statement about the incident. Siddharth is being treated at a hospital," he said.
Sinha, in his suicide note, said he was taking the extreme step to evade harassment and action for not being able to repay his loans.
