Dejected in life after being deserted by his wife, a 45-year old powerloom owner allegedly committed suicide after killing his two children by giving them poison today, police said.

Kumar and his 27-year old wife Savita were having some disputes. She had left him and their children and was staying in her parent's home for some time.

Upset over this, he administered poison to his 12-year old son and six-year old daughter before consuming it himself. Their bodies were found inside the house.
