Malappuram (Kerala) (PTI): Four members of a family, including two children, were found dead inside their rented house in Munduparambu in Malappuram district of northern Kerala, police said on Friday.

The deceased were identified as Sabeesh (37), wife Sheena (38) and their two children.

The man and the woman were found hanging from fans in two rooms while the bodies of the six and two-and-a half year-old boys were lying on the bed late on Thursday night, police said.

The tragic incident came to light after their desperate relatives informed the police that the couple were not picking up the phone despite repeated calls since Thursday evening.

Prima facie, it was a case of suicide and an investigation is on, a police officer said.

"As informed by the relatives, we reached their house in the night but we could not enter as it was locked from inside. So, we had to break open the door," he told PTI.

The bodies of the husband and wife were found hanging in adjacent rooms, he said.

"The bodies of the kids were on the bed. We can ascertain the cause of death of the kids after the post mortem only," he further said.

Sabeesh was an employee of a private financial institution while Sheena was the manager of a major public sector bank, the officer added.

No suicide note or any other document, indicating the cause of their extreme step, was found from the home.

An investigation is launched to know whether the couple was facing any financial issues or any other such crisis in their life, the officer added.

New Delhi: The investigation team that probed the explosion that took place outside the CRPF School in the Prashant Vihar area of the city on October 20 morning has reportedly not found any terror force behind the blast.

The investigation team, consisting of Delhi Police and staff members from central agencies, has stated in its report that cigarette butts thrown by a local resident might have come in contact with industrial waste and have caused the explosion. Circumstantial evidence does not show the incident to have a terror angle to it, reports The Indian Express.

The Delhi Police, the city bomb squad and the fire brigade had rushed to the spot following the explosion, which was initially believed to have been caused by a crude bomb. The forensic experts who inspected the spot hinted at the presence of potassium chlorate, hydrogen peroxide and some electrical wires there. The school wall had been damaged and the windows of a car nearby had shattered in the explosion.

The investigation team scanned the CCTV camera footage and zeroed in on around 10 people questioned. A senior police officer said that a North Delhi-based businessman from Prashant Vihar was found to be present at the spot around five minutes before the explosion, as he had come there on Sunday morning to walk his dog. The CCTV footage showed him smoking and, after questioning him, the team concluded that he had left lit cigarette butts before leaving the spot, the officer added.

The spot where the explosion took place is learned to have been usually used for dumping garbage and also has a public urinal.

An officer has said that the Delhi Police had consulted forensic and technical experts of the National Security Guard regarding the things found on the explosion site but are yet to get the report. The officer added that they have found no detonator so far.
