A man committed suicide after killing his wife and two daughters here following a fight with his spouse over a family issue, police said. The bodies were found Monday morning.
Ravinder Kanojia (34), who owned a dry-cleaning shop, was found hanging from the grill of a door on the first floor.
His wife, Chanda, and daughters Nandini, 9, and Yashika, 7, were lying on a bed in a pool of blood on the ground floor of an under-construction house in Dwarka, police said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Suman Goyal told IANS that Ravinder's elder brother Kishore spotted the bodies around 8 a.m. when he came to take the girls to school.
