Mysore/Mysuru: Nayaka community leaders from the district called on the next of kin of the family of Mahadeva Nayaka, of Chandagalu village in K.R. Nagar taluk, who had entered into a suicide pact recently and consoled them, on Tuesday.
The four of family members of Mahadeva Nayaka, including himself, his wife, daughter and 17-year-old minor granddaughter, had allegedly attempted suicide by consuming poison at Talabetta, near the foot of Male Mahadeshwara Hills recently. While Nayaka died instantly, his daughter died later at the hospital, with his wife and granddaughter surviving the bid to take their own lives. They had taken the extreme step, as a youth from the same village, but outside the caste, who was in love with the minor girl, had been allegedly blackmailing them to expose her photos with him.
