The police were informed about the incident when a sweeper found the family unconscious in their room. They were rushed to a nearby hospital where the doctors declared them dead on arrival.

The deceased were identified as Surendra Upadhyay, his wife Kamlesh Devi, son Nitin Upadhyay and daughter Neelam Upadhyay, all natives of Raipur in Uttarakhand.
