Siblings Found Dead Inside Family Shop In Delhi, Cops Hunt For Father

According to police, it is suspected that their father killed them by giving them some poisonous substance or by smothering them.

A 13-year-old girl and his younger brother were found dead inside their father's grocery shop in northwest Delhi's Keshav Puram area on Saturday, police said.

The children's father Manish, who is suspected to have killed the two siblings, is on the run and efforts are on to nab him, they said.  A call regarding the incident was received at 7.15 pm, police said.  

Manish's wife told police that both the children had gone to school but they did not return home. Initially, she thought that they were with their father as he would often pick them up from their school, they said.
