Delhi Head Constable, Wife Found Dead in Locked Narela Flat
A police officer named Monu and his wife Meenu were found dead inside their home in Narela.
The home was locked from the inside when police arrived on Saturday afternoon.
Officers entered with help from the Fire Department.
The couple’s two children were away and later returned to find the door locked.
Neighbours gathered after nobody answered the door.
Some preliminary reports said Monu may have shot Meenu and then hanged himself.
Police have not yet confirmed exactly what happened.
Investigators are checking the scene and waiting for post-mortem reports.
Head Constable Monu, about 40, and his wife Meenu, 35, were found dead in their Narela flat on Saturday.
Police received a PCR call around 1 p.m. after the flat was found locked from inside.
Officials entered with help from the Fire Department and found both bodies in the same room.
