The boy told police that his mother hung Aman while the latter was still asleep, before proceeding to hang him and herself.

What led Kabita to commit the crime is a matter of investigation.
Police are searching for Ramdev Jha of Forbesganj, India, for questioning after learning that he had recently visited the family and lived with them for a few days.
