DMRC employee kills wife, daughter before hanging himself in Jyoti Colony

New Delhi: A Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) employee allegedly killed his wife and daughter before hanging himself in east Delhi's Jyoti Colony area on Tuesday, police said.

A PCR call was received at around 12 pm where a Delhi Metro employee informed that when he reached out to his colleague Sushil Kumar (43), who did not come to the office, he was crying over the call and said that he killed everybody, a senior police officer said.

Police reached Kumar’s house and found three bodies there.

While Kumar was found hanging from the ceiling, his wife Anuradha (43) and six-year-old daughter had stab wounds, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Shahdara) Rohit Meena said.

Kumar’s 13-year-old son also received stab injuries and is currently undergoing treatment, he said.

Kumar worked as a maintenance supervisor in the DMRC at East Vinod Nagar depot, police said.

The forensic science laboratory (FSL) teams are inspecting the spot. Prima facie, it seems that Kumar killed his wife and daughter before committing suicide. Further investigation is underway, the DCP said.
