Delhi : A 25-year-old man allegedly stabbed to death his father, mother, sister and grandmother following a quarrel in southwest Delhi's Palam area, police said on Wednesday. The accused has been identified as Keshav, they said.
On Tuesday at around 10:30 pm, police received information about a quarrel on the upper floor of a house. After reaching the spot, police found four members of a family dead in their house, Deputy Commissioner of Police (southwest) Manoj C said.
The caller and his relatives caught hold of the accused and handed him over to the police. The primary investigation revealed that Keshav did not have a stable job. He used to work in a company in Gurgaon and left the job a month ago, police said.
Prima facie it seems that the accused killed his family following an argument. A case under section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code has been registered in Palam police station and further investigation is on, police said.
"I returned home around 9.15-9.30pm. 10 minutes later, I heard my cousin Urvashi scream for help. I went upstairs & knocked on the door. We tried to break it open. My cousin Keshav called us out from inside & told us to go away, saying "it is a family matter" said Kuldeep, a relative of deceased family.
He further said "I called up my uncle and Police. When they came, tried to break open the door. Amid this, I heard someone jump down. I ran downstairs and saw my cousin Keshav trying to escape on a scooty. I caught him and handed him over to Police. We discovered that he has murdered them."
