The three were rushed to the TTD-run Aswini hospital where they were administered first aid and then shifted to SVRR Hospital at Tirupati.

The police found empty pesticides bottles and a suicide note written in Tamil, in which it was stated that domestic and financial problems had forced them to take the extreme step.

The three, however, declined to reveal their identity..

Meanwhile, according to information available with TTD reception officials, the cottage was allotted in the name of Ms. Parvathi, House Number 40, Gandhi Nagar, Puddukottai, Tamil Nadu.
