New Delhi: A government official and his wife were found dead Friday evening, police said.
The bodies of K. Vijay Kumar, 57, and his wife Sita, 51, were recovered from two different rooms of their Kaka Nagar house in south Delhi.
He was working as advisor (cost) in the ministry of food and civil supplies, while Sita was at a senior post in a state-run bank.
“The incident came to light when their 19-year-old daughter Waranya arrived at the two-bedroom house on the first floor around 4.30 p.m. and called police when she got no reply after repeated knocks on the door,” said police.
Police said a door was broken open, and Kumar was found lying in a pool of blood in the drawing room with deep wounds on his neck, while his wife was found hanging from the grille of the ventilator in a bedroom.
“No suicide note was recovered from the spot. There was no sign of forced entry into the house, the door was bolted from within. We have registered a case of murder,” said Joint Commissioner of Police Vivek Gogia.
Police is also probing the possibility that Sita either killed her husband or got someone to murder him before hanging herself. (IANS)
