A tragic incident occurred in the Neb Sarai area of South Delhi on Wednesday, where a man, his wife, and their daughter were found stabbed to death inside their home. The fourth family member, their son, had gone for a walk and was not present during the crime.

The victims were identified as Rajesh (55), his wife Komal (47), and their daughter, who was 23 years old. 

According to a local, the son had left for the gym at 5 am, informing his mother before leaving and asking her to lock the door behind him. Upon his return, he found the horrifying scene of his family members lying dead from stab wounds on their necks.

Police officials rushed to the scene upon receiving the report and have since cordoned off the area. The three victims appear to have been stabbed with a knife. Forensic teams are collecting evidence, and investigations are ongoing. Further details are awaited as the probe progresses.

The incident created tension and panic in the area and neighbours rushed to the house.

This incident comes amidst a rising wave of violent crimes in the national capital. Just days earlier, on December 2, three separate stabbing incidents claimed lives within 24 hours.

In the first case, a man’s body with stab wounds was recovered from the Geeta Colony flyover in north Delhi early on Sunday. The body of another man, aged 38, who was allegedly stabbed to death, was recovered from a park in Rohini’s Prashant Vihar.
