Child’s Long Illness and Mother’s Strain
Police reached the spot soon after the incident, registered the deaths and sent the bodies for post-mortem. Initial findings showed the boy had been suffering from a serious mental health problem for many years. His mother had been getting him treated for about a decade, officials said.
Note Left at the Scene
A handwritten note was also found at the location. In it, Sakshi Chawla apologised to her husband and said they were ending their lives, asking that no one be blamed, according to police. Her husband, a chartered accountant based in Gurugram, was in another room at the time.
