Man kills wife, three children by slitting their throats in Mehrauli
New Delhi: A man allegedly killed his wife and three young children by slitting their throats in South Delhi's Mehrauli, police said Saturday.
Upender Shukla, a private tutor, has been arrested and he is suspected to be suffering from depression, they said.
He killed his wife, Archana, and his two-months-old daughter, five-year-old son and seven-year-old daughter by slitting their throats in the early hours of Saturday, Deputy Commission of Police (South) Vijay Kumar said.
At the time of the killings, the accused's mother-in-law was in their house in Mehrauli which has two rooms.
When Shukla did not open the door of his room on Saturday morning, she informed the neighbours who broke it open and found him sitting next to the bodies, the officer added.
They then called up the police, he said.
A written note was found in which Shukla confessed to the killing of his wife and children. He, however, did not give any reason for it, the officer said.
Preliminary investigation suggests that the killings took place between 1 and 1.30 am, the officer added. The knife used in the incident has been seized and further investigation is underway, he said.

"Their leader is refusing to change. Now the members are also behaving like him. Their leader is indulging in drama in Parliament premises by holding plate and glass. They think that by doing such theatrics they will be able to draw the attention of the people, but people know them very well that is why they have not been able to come to power," Rijiju said.
Expressing disappointment over the Congress behaviour, the minister said no one in the Congress party is making their leader see logic.
"Still there is time to change otherwise people of the country will punish you severely," he said.
As the opposition refused to relent, the Chair adjourned the proceedings till 2 pm.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is expected to respond to a debate on the second batch of supplementary demands for grants this afternoon.
