In Prabhakar's house, the cooler was being used solely for air circulation, and they were not adding water to it.
On July 30, after returning from work on the farm, Prabhakar found that the door to their house was locked from the inside. Despite knocking, his wife did not open it.

The couple lived alone as they had no children and relied on the income from their two-acre farmland for their livelihood. The entire village is in shock over their sudden and unfortunate deaths. The incident has been reported to the Mahan police station, and the authorities are conducting an investigation into the matter.
