Man ends life, poisons his 2 kidsNEW DELHI: A 30-year-old man, an employee of Delhi Jal Board (DJB), killed himself and his two children — six-month-old son Jatin and two-year-old daughter Jaya — by lacing the food with poison at his residence in New Mahavir Nagar in West Delhi on Friday night.

His wife, who too consumed the poisoned food, is battling for life at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital.

"Pramod's wife Seema was conscious even after consuming poison. She alerted the neighbours. Her condition is critical," said a senior police officer. He said that Pramod did not leave behind any suicide note.
