Delhi: 5 Family Members Found Dead, Police Suspect Suicide

Five members of a family were found dead in their apartment in southwest Delhi’s Rangpuri Village, police reported on Saturday. Authorities suspect the man and his four daughters died by suicide after consuming a poisonous substance.

The incident was brought to the police’s attention on Friday morning after neighbors noticed a foul odor coming from the home and alerted the authorities. A senior police officer stated, “We forced the door open and discovered the father’s body in the living room. Inside, we found the bodies of his four daughters.” Police believe the father may have poisoned his daughters, all of whom were physically disabled and aged between 8 and 18. Locals informed the police that the girls’ mother had died from cancer a few years earlier, leaving the father, a carpenter, to care for the children on his own. No suicide note was found at the scene.

Forensic and crime teams were called to the site, and police collected food samples and medicine wrappers from the home. The family had lived in their fourth-floor apartment in Rangpuri for eight years. The bodies were sent for autopsies to determine the exact cause of death.
