Father strangled wife and children to death, later commits suicide

Raebareli (Uttar Pradesh): An eye surgeon from Uttar Pradesh first killed his wife and children before killing himself at the government quarter where the family used to reside, police said. Cops recovered the bodies of deceased persons after breaking the door. Police have sent the bodies for post-mortem while the forensic team is collecting evidence from the spot.

According to the officials, the doctor worked as a DMO at the railway coach factory in Lalganj. The bodies of his wife, son and daughter were found on the bed, police said. The deceased doctor has been identified as Dr Arun Singh, who was living in the residential premises of the factory with his wife Archana, daughter Adiva and son Aarav.

Superintendent (SP) of Police Alok Priyadarshi said the doctor first injected the wife, son and daughter, who fell unconscious. Thereafter, he killed them by hitting them on the head with a hammer. Later, he also committed suicide. Cops are clueless about the reason for the suicide.

He further added, “The dead bodies have been sent for post-mortem”. The doctor was last seen on Sunday after that no member of his family was seen by anyone living on the premises.
