Gurugram, Jan 22 (PTI) A 35-year-old software engineer was found dead in his house in Ashok Vihar Phase-2 prompting police to lodge a case against his wife and brother-in-law, officials said on Wednesday.

The engineer’s wife Seema and three-year-old daughter were missing from the house, they said.

According to a complaint filed by Singh’s father Krishan Kumar, who is a Sub Inspector in Haryana Police, he asked the neighbour to check on his son after he did not pick his calls.
