The deceased have been identified as Narendra Chadhar, a resident of Sihoda village, his wife Reena, and their two daughters, aged 6 years and 3 months. Their bodies were found on the railway track, with Narendra's motorcycle parked nearby, Nema said.

Narendra Chadhar's father-in-law, Shankar Lal Chadhar, revealed to reporters that his daughter Reena had called him on Tuesday, mentioning a dispute with her mother-in-law. He had dismissed it as a typical family matter and had not anticipated the severity of the situation.

"I have no information on what led my son-in-law and daughter to take such an extreme step. I only found out about the incident this morning," Shankar Lal Chadhar said.
