    All of them were admitted to Tanda Medical College, where the children died shortly after, they added.

    A suicide note written by her was also recovered.
     
     
    The woman's husband Parveen Kumar, her mother-in-law and brother-in-law were arrested in the case on Sunday, Santosh Patial SP Kangra said.
