Delhi cop, wife found dead in Narela flat locked from inside: Police

A 40-year-old Delhi police head constable and his 35-year-old wife were found dead in their locked flat in Narela, outer Delhi. According to police, the couple's two children discovered the locked flat after returning from school and called the police. Authorities entered the premises with the help of the fire brigade and confirmed both bodies were found in the same room. Preliminary findings suggest the head constable may have strangled his wife before taking his own life, though the exact sequence of events remains under investigation. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem examinations to determine the causes of death, and legal procedures are underway.

Delhi Police head constable Monu, 40, and his wife Meenu, 35, were found dead in their Narela flat on Saturday. The couple's bodies were discovered inside the locked apartment after their two children, aged 11 and 13, returned from school and found the door inaccessible. Neighbors confirmed the flat was locked from within, prompting police to arrive at the scene shortly after 1 pm. According to police, the couple was found dead in the same room. Deputy Commissioner of Police Sobhit D Saxena stated that the bodies had been moved to Raja Harish Chandra Hospital for postmortem examinations. Initial findings suggest that Monu may have strangled his wife with her scarf before taking his own life. The exact sequence of events remains under investigation. The children reportedly left home earlier in the day, saying their parents were arguing over cooking scrambled eggs. Upon returning, they found the door locked and called for help. Neighbors gathered and observed through a window that the father was hanging while the mother lay in a pool of blood. Police have launched an inquiry into the incident, focusing on potential domestic disputes. Forensic teams and crime scene investigators have examined the premises. Authorities are searching for a possible suicide note left by either victim. The couple’s identities have been confirmed by police, with Monu working as a head constable in the North District. Their children remain unaffected by the tragedy. Further legal actions and investigations are underway to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the deaths.
