Puducherry:
An entire family - five sisters and their parents - jumped into the sea here
this morning, a day after they were evicted from the famous Aurobindo Ashram.
Two of the young
women and their mother have died, the police said, while the father and three
other daughters were rescued by fishermen and have been hospitalized.
The family is from
Bihar. The five sisters had been staying in the residential part of the
Aurobindo Ashram for several years; their parents lived near-by.
The trust that
runs the ashram had 10 years ago accused one of the sisters of
misconduct. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of the
trust and said the sisters should vacate their rooms within a week; if they
refused, the court said, the police should evict them.
Yesterday, they
warned to kill themselves if they were moved out, but later were escorted out
by the police after extensive talks.
