Details On Tragedy That Killed All 3 Of Family

According to reports, the teenager reached the edge of the hill at around 10 am and repeatedly threatened to take his own life. His parents and others at the spot pleaded with him to step away from the edge and think about his future and his family. Despite their efforts, he remained near the edge.

During the final 15 to 20 minutes, Kunal’s father climbed up the hill and attempted to intervene. At around 1 pm, as the teenager continued moving near the edge, his father tried to grab him. The two reportedly lost their balance and fell from the hill. Moments later, the panic-stricken mother also fell from the hill while trying to respond to the tragedy. All three family members died in the incident.

The three-hour ordeal was witnessed by tourists and locals, some of whom recorded videos of the rescue attempt. Eyewitness said the parents and others repeatedly tried to convince the teenager to move away from the edge. Police personnel present at the spot also attempted to intervene.

Pet Dog Left Alone At Home

While the tragedy has left the Chandgude family’s neighbourhood in deep mourning, another poignant scene has emerged at their residence. The family’s pet dog, reportedly treated as an integral member of the household, remains outside the vacant home. According to local news reports, Kunal regularly took the dog for morning walks.

Pet Dog Refuses Food

Following the family’s deaths, residents attempted to feed the dog by passing food through a window. However, the animal reportedly refused to eat throughout the day. Neighbours said the dog has been moving around the house, sniffing corners and areas where its owners once spent time before returning to the entrance.

It now sits near the door, appearing to wait for its family to return. The sight has added another layer of grief to an already devastating tragedy, as the loyal companion remains unaware that the people it has been waiting for will not return.
