New Delhi: In yet another shocking incident, a 30-year-old man who worked for an IT company allegedly killed his wife and brother-in-law in east Delhi’s Shakarpur area, police said on Wednesday.
Shreyansh Pal allegedly stabbed to death his wife, recognised as Kamlesh Holkar (29), who was a teacher, and his 18-year-old brother-in-law inside his flat, before fleeing the scene. Nearly three hours after the incident, he surrendered to the police and was taken into custody for questioning.
Kamlesh’s brother, a Class 12 student, had come to his sister’s house to participate in his nephew’s birthday celebrations on April 15, a senior police official said.
The police were alerted to the crime by Shreyansh’s father, who discovered the bodies when he went to wake up his son on Wednesday morning. His two-year-old grandson (Shreyansh’s son) was on the bed, while the bodies of Shreyansh’s wife and brother-in-law lay nearby.
“A PCR call was received on April 17 about a fight and injury to one person. Upon reaching the scene, police found two bodies. A screwdriver, suspected to be used in the crime, was also found at the scene,” the police statement read.
“Preliminary enquiry suggested that there was a fight between the couple, followed by the double murder. The husband who was found missing from the house later joined the investigation,” it added. Further investigation into the case is underway.
