The accused purportedly said that he was planning suicide since his wife's death. He said, "I had first planned to commit suicide only, but then I thought what would happen to my children after me. So I decided to take them with me." He also admitted that he first planned to give sleeping pills to the children, fearing their resistance. Subhash said that he had been collecting sleeping pills from various shops for the past month, and he specifically chose the date of June 8 for this incident because his parents were not at home that day.
