The deceased have been identified as Shankaracharya (50), his wife Nirmala (44) and their daughters Shruthi (24) and Shreya (21).

Shankaracharya was running a Jewellery shop in Padubelle for past 30 years. Shruti had cracked Chartered Accountant (CA) exam after completing MBA while Shreya was studying MBA at a private college in Manipal.

It is learnt that Shruti was supposed to marry a man from Karkala, who is working in Hyderabad next month. However, her engagement got cancelled due to a birth of a child in the bridegroom’s family.

It is said that the four consumed poison after mixing it with food. The reason for the shocking step is yet to be known.

According to sources, Shankaracharya had gone to Udupi on Wednesday. After that no one spotted him in Padubelle. On Thursday morning the neighbours discovered that all the members of the family had committed suicide.

Shankaracharya had suffered huge loss couple of years ago, but he had managed to overcome financial difficulties. In the recent days he had employed 15 goldsmiths to make jewellery.
