Delhi News: A man killed his wife and mother-in-law in Delhi’s Rohini after a dispute over gift exchange between the two sides of the family on his son’s birthday celebration. The incident occurred on Saturday, and the accused was arrested after a PCR call was received at 3:50 pm at the KNK Marg Police Station regarding the murder.

The caller informed that his mother and sister were killed in Sector-17, Rohini. According to police, they recovered two bodies- one of a 34-year-old Priya Sehgal and another 63-year-old Kusum Sinha, lying in the room.

The call was made by 30-year-old Megh Sinha, Priya’s brother, who said that her mother had come to Priya’s residence to celebrate her grandson, Chirag’s birthday.

Megh further informed to police that a dispute had occurred during the celebration over the exchange of gifts, so his mother stayed back at Priya’s place to resolve the issue on August 28.

"On August 30, when the caller tried to contact his mother over the phone, his calls went unanswered. He then came to Priya's house and found the flat locked from outside with blood stains visible near the door," the officer said.

Megh immediately informed other members of the family and reached the residence. He found his mother and sister lying in a pool of blood after he broke open the door. He alleged that Yogesh Sehgal, the husband of Priya and presently unemployed, had killed both his mother and sister and fled with the children, the police said.

Yogesh has been arrested, and his blood-stained clothes and two scissors, allegedly used to commit the crime, have been recovered from the crime scene.

Himalaya, brother of Priya, told PTI, "My mother had gone to my sister's house a day before and told us she would return the next day. When we called her in between, she said there was a fight going on between my sister and her husband, and that she would help sort it out and then come back. But she never returned. We kept calling her the next morning around 11:00 AM, 11:30 AM and again at 12, but neither she nor my sister picked up. We thought maybe they were asleep. By afternoon, we decided to go and check. When we reached the house and knocked, we saw blood stains on the lock."
