Initial investigations suggest that businessman Ankur Gupta had a scuffle with his wife, which led to the murders of Sarika and their son Parath. Ankur then shot himself to death, Ghaziabad senior superintendent of police (SSP) Dharmender Singh said.
He said they received a call from Ankur's brother, Ankush, around 1.30 AM yesterday that the bodies of Ankur, Sarika and Parath were lying in a pool of blood.
Ankur, who deals in handloom business and owned a factory in the Masuri Industrial area of the district, lived with his wife, son and brother Ankush in a flat of Orange County Society in Indirapuram's Aahinsha Khand area.
Ankush told police that when he returned home from work, he found the door open.
