**Bhanjanagar: ** Parents pray for sons and celebrate their birth in India as they always think that they will be well looked after in their old age. But, this elderly couple were forced to commit suicide as they had five sons who did not care to feed their parents.
This heinous incident occurred in at Gandisola village of Bhanjanagar in Odisha’s Ganjam district. The couple identified as Laxman Dalei (80) and Hema Dalei (70) used to go to their each son’s place in turns, so that the responsibilities of the sons would be divided over time.
