Two persons were arrested on Tuesday for killing a 30-year-old woman and her two children in West Delhi’s Uttam Nagar area. The attack was planned by a relative of the woman after she threatened to lodge a case of domestic violence against the accused. The main accused, identified as Deepak, was found dead near railway tracks in Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur district on June 6.
The probe was initiated after Deepmala and her children Saksham and Vaishnavi were found dead at their rented accommodation in Uttam Nagar’s Mohan Garden on June 1. Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Pushpendra Kumar said Deepmala used to threaten Deepak of filing a case of domestic violence over his wife Madhu. Over the past few months, Deepmala had been mediating to improve Deepak and Madhu’s relationship.
Deepak then involved Rajesh and Gulshan to help him take revenge. Deepmala’s husband Amit Kumar, an Inspector with Delhi Excise Department, is posted in the office of Chief Commissioner Excise and Service Tax.
On being questioned, Amit told police that he suspected involvement of Deepak. A police team went to Saharanpur and was told that Deepak was found dead near the railway tracks.
