New Delhi: A middle-aged couple and their daughter were stabbed to death on their 27th marriage anniversary on Wednesday in south Delhi’s Neb Sarai with their 20-year-old son emerging as the main suspect, police said.
The bodies of Rajesh Kumar (51), who had retired from the Army, his wife Komal (46), and their daughter Kavita (23) were recovered from their house in Deoli village early this morning, they said.
The couple’s son Arjun claimed that he found the family members dead at around 6:30 am when he returned home from his morning walk. He alerted the neighbours and informed the police, an official said.
However, there were discrepancies in Arjun’s alibi and he was detained for questioning, Joint Commissioner Police (Southern Range) SK Jain said.
“We took him into our custody and interrogated him durig which he revealed that he committed the crime as he was not having good relations with his parents. He was upset as his parents used to like his sister more than him,” Jain claimed.
Arjun, who is a second-year student of Delhi University, got to know that his father was about to give the property to his sister, which angered him a lot, the officer said.
“Sibling rivalry was a reason as his parents gave more importance to his sister. He also got to know that his father was about to give the property to his sister, which angered him a lot.
