A rich family of Indian origin in the USA was found dead at their 5 million dollar mansion in Massachusetts on Thursday night apparently in a murder-suicide incident. Yet there is no confirmation of suicide or an alleged murder as the family was facing financial troubles.
The bodies of Rakesh Kamal, 57, of Indian origin, his wife, Teena, 54, and their 18-year-old daughter, Ariana, were found in their Dover home — estimated to be worth $5.45 million — at about 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey said.
The district attorney, who described the “tragedy” as a “domestic violence situation,” said a gun was found near the husband’s body.
The district attorney declined to say whether all three family members were shot dead — and by whom.
Morrissey said he was waiting for the medical examiner’s ruling, which was expected later Friday, before deciding whether to refer to the incident as a murder-suicide.
The district attorney refused to speculate on a motive for the slayings.
Still, the couple appeared to have faced financial problems in recent years, online records show.
The family’s sprawling mansion went into foreclosure a year ago and was sold to the Massachusetts-based Wilsondale Associates LLC for $3 million, according to property records obtained by The Post.
The Kamals had purchased the 19,000-square-foot estate – which boasts 11 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms – for $4 million in 2019, according to the records.

The slain family members were the only ones living in the mansion at the time, the DA said, adding that the area, one of the richest in the state, was “a nice neighborhood, a safe community.”
Teena and her husband, who also went by Rick, had previously run a Massachusetts-based education systems company called EduNova.
The company was launched in 2016 but was dissolved in December 2021, state records show.
Teena, who was a Harvard alumnus, was listed as one of the board of directors for the American Red Cross of Massachusetts.
