Family of 4 found dead inside house in outer Delhi

Relatives say couple shared cordial relations while police inquiry revealed they fought over petty issues

A family of four, including a three-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl, was found dead inside their house in outer Delhi’s Sirsapur village on Tuesday morning.

At their modest home inside a narrow bylane in the village, Nem Pal, the deceased’s brother, who lives in Jahangirpuri, termed the incident a mystery. “I used to visit them frequently but did not suspect that anything like this could happen... something must have gone wrong behind the four walls of their house that night which we are not aware of,” Mr. Singh told The Hindu.

According to family members, the 30-year-old man and the 25-year-old woman got married six years ago and have been living with the man’s elder brother and his family in a two-room house in the village. The deceased was the youngest of four brothers in the family. The man used to work at a nearby factory while the woman was a housewife and only their six-year-old daughter used to go to school, the relatives said.
