The sisters were immediately rushed to Rani Laxmibai Hospital and later shifted to the Trauma Centre for advanced treatment. However, doctors declared Radha dead on arrival, while Jiya succumbed during treatment. Family members stated that both sisters were extremely attached to their pet dog, which had been ill for several days. Despite consulting several reputed veterinarians, the dog’s health showed no improvement. Seeing their beloved pet in constant pain reportedly pushed the sisters into severe depression, leading to the extreme step. Police have sent the bodies for post-mortem examination and are probing whether the pet’s illness was the sole reason or if other factors were involved. It has also emerged that both sisters had been undergoing treatment for mental health issues since 2014.
