KHAMMAM: Four members of one family ended their lives by consuming pesticide at Madhuramagar area in Khammam town on Friday.

According to information, K Venkata Prasad (40), a former private college lecturer in Khammam had entered into granite business later. However, he suffered heavy losses in his business.
