MAPUSA
A 17-year-old boy from the four of a Mapusa family, that attempted to commit suicide by consuming tablets continues to be serious even as his mother and two other siblings are out of danger.
All four continue to remain under observation in Goa Medical College and Hospital, Bambolim.
“One of the boys who is a minor, continues to be in the ICU while three others are out of danger,” said PI, C L Patil, who holds additional charge of Mapusa Police Station.
Police informed that the affected family members had consumed different types of tablets including medication for high blood pressure, diabetes, antidepressants and sleeping pills.
Sources disclosed that the wife and her children used to have frequent quarrels with the husband on several issues.
It may be recalled the wife and her three children, including two minors, from Dangui Colony, Mapusa had consumed tablets on Saturday afternoon over a dispute with the husband over a holiday trip to Malaysia.
On seeing the family struggling for life, the husband called the 108 ambulance and also informed the police.
The four were first admitted at the North Goa District Hospital, Mapusa and then shifted to GMC, Bambolim where the condition of two minor children was reported to be serious.
PSI, Paresh Ramnathkar is investigating further.
