Gurgaon: A senior staffer with a Hyderabad-based Pharma company allegedly killed his wife and two children by stabbing them and slitting their throats before ending his life in their Uppal Southend home here, police said on Monday.
Prakash Singh, 55, a PhD holder, was found hanging from a ceiling fan on Sunday night with a suicide note stating that “he was not able to handle his family and is responsible for the deaths of his wife, son and daughter”, a police official said.
His wife Sonu Singh (50), who ran a school in Gurgaon, daughter Aditi (22) and son Aditya (13) were found dead with injuries inflicted with a sharp weapon, they said.
The matter was reported to police by the locals who were alerted by the family’s pet dogs who continued barking from inside the house.
“The police control room received a call from the neighbours at 9 am. Our team reached Uppal Southend and found the main entrance door of Prakash’s house locked from inside,” Assistant Commissioner of Police (Sadar) Aman Yadav told PTI.
“The door was forced open. Prakash’s body was found hanging from the ceiling fan in the drawing room, while the bodies of Aditya and Sonu were lying on the floor. Aditi’s body was found on a bed. There were scuffle marks on the inner walls,” he said. (PTI)
