New Delhi: According to police, an 82-year-old woman, her three daughters and a male guard were found dead inside a house on Saturday in Delhi. The four women belonged to a family having oil business in the area, said media reports. They were found dead at their house in Shahdara’s Mansarovar Park area, according to Deputy Commissioner of Police Nupur Prasad.
The deceased have been identified as Urmila Jindal, and her daughters Sangeeta, 56, Nupur, 48, and Anjali, 38. The guard has been identified as Rakesh, 42.
A sharp weapon has also been recovered from the spot, added the media reports. It is believed that the weapon was used to stab the five victims.
The police control room received a call about the incident around 7 am on Saturday. Preliminary investigation showed there was “no forced entry” into the house and no valuables were stolen, a police officer said.
The 42-year-old guard was killed on the ground floor and the women on the first, said the reports. The first floor where the three women were killed has only one room, and the dead body of the guard was found near the staircase.
It was learnt that there were 40 members in the family living in the ancestral house and surprisingly no one heard anything.
Some days ago, tension regarding property dispute was going on, said a friend of one of the deceased. “The crime scene indicates a friendly entry. Can’t say motive behind the murders now but we have a few inputs and probe is underway,” Special Police Commissioner said. It is suspected that the killings could be fallout of a property dispute, according to the police.
