Man, 4 Daughters Found Dead At Delhi Home, Cops Suspect Murder-Suicide

In a tragic incident, a man and his four daughters were found dead in their home in Vasant Kunj’s Rangpuri village, Delhi, on Saturday. The family had allegedly consumed poison and died by suicide. Here’s a breakdown of the incident.

On September 27, Delhi Police received a call at 10:18 am after a neighbour reported a foul smell emanating from the family's house. The police arrived at the scene and broke the lock on the door, discovering five bodies. The deceased were identified as Hira Lal, 50, and his four daughters: Neetu, Nishi, Neeru, and Nidhi.

Hira Lal, a carpenter at Spinal Injury Hospital in Vasant Kunj since 1996, had been taking care of his four daughters, all of whom were physically disabled. Their mother had passed away a year ago from cancer, leaving Lal as the sole caretaker of the family. His daughters reportedly had various disabilities, with one being blind and another unable to walk.
