A renowned theatre-artist couple in Karnataka’s Udupi district allegedly died by suicide hours after their adopted minor daughter went missing from their home Tuesday.
Leeladhar Shetty, 68, and his wife Vasundhara Shetty, 59, residents of the Kaup taluk, left behind a suicide note, but they did not mention the reason behind their decision to end their lives, said the police.
The Shettys adopted their daughter 16 years ago and lived with her in Majoor village. The police said they suspect she had eloped with a man who was employed by the couple
