"It appears that the trio, residents of Tikamgarh, committed suicide as a result of financial distress. However, investigation into the incident will bring to light the exact reason behind their suicide," Khargapur police station sub-inspector Nitesh Jain told PTI.
The deceased were identified as Laxman (35), Rajni (32) and their 13-year-old daughter, he said.
"The family owned a small farmland, which was apparently not sufficient for them to earn a living...But the police are probing the incident from all angles," Jain said.
The bodies of the deceased were sent to a government hospital for post-mortem, he added.
