Mother and son found dead inside house in north-east Delhi

Police suspect murder by strangulation

Bodies of a woman and her son were found lying inside their house in north-east Delhi’s Karawal Nagar on Thursday morning, the police said. The deceased — Umlesh (56) and her son Ashok (29) — used to stay on the first floor. They ran a general store on the ground floor of the house. The police said they received information about the incident at 8 a.m. When the team reached the spot, the woman’s body was found lying on the floor. Her son was found lying dead on the bed in the same room, a senior officer said. “We have registered a case and shifted the bodies to mortuary for post-mortem. An investigation is under way. It seems to be murder by strangulation yet without any proper evidence, no conclusion can be drawn,” he said.
