BHAVNAGAR: Three minor sisters, infected with HIV, committed suicide in Vartej town here, police said on Saturday.
Krishnaba Gohel (16), along with her two younger sisters Rekhaba (12) and Dakshaba (10) consumed poison last night, they said, adding that Rekhaba and Dakshaba died on the spot, while Krishnaba was admitted to the Sir T Hospital where she died this morning.
Primary investigation revealed that the sisters received the infection from their parents and took the extreme step due to the social stigma attached with the disease, police said.
They further said that their father Vinubha Gohel (42) was bed-ridden and battling for life due to HIV, while their mother and brother succumbed to the disease a couple of years ago.
A complaint has been registered and further investigations are on, they added.
