18-year-old, parents found dead in Delhi

NEW DELHI - An 18-year-old mentally challenged youth was allegedly poisoned to death and his parents were found dead on a railway track in Delhi Monday, police said.

The youth was found dead inside his Sarita Vihar home in south Delhi after 80-year-old Daljit Singh informed police about his dead grandson Karandeep Arora, a police official said.

Bodies of Karandeep’s parents Saminder Arora and Nimmi Arora were found from a railway track near their house. “The boy’s parents presumably committed suicide by coming under a train,” the official said.

According to police, loss in business was the reason for the couple allegedly poisoning their son and then committing suicide.

A suicide note was recovered from the couple in which they claimed that they were ending their lives due to heavy loss suffered in business, the official said, adding that the bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination.
