64-year-old man kills wife, daughter-in-law; arrested

NEW DELHI: Barely two days after a 62-year-old doctor shot dead an HR director in Rohini sector 13 and the committed suicide after the alleged illicit affair, another case of illicit affair resulting in a double murder in Rohini's Vijay Vihar.

On Friday morning, a 64-year-old private school teacher brutally stabbed his 62-year-old wife and 35-year-old daughter-in-law after he suspected them of having illicit affair.

Police said that Satish Chaudhary, 64, allegedly killed Pragya Chaudhary (35), wife of his son Gaurav Chaudhary who is a software engineer in Singapore; and his 62-year-old wife Snehlata Chaudhary at their home in Rohini. Both were stabbed multiple times till they bled to death.

"When the police reached the spot, they found Pragya Chaudhary and her mother-in-law Snehlata Chaudhary, who is a retired employee with the Delhi Transport Corporation, in a pool of blood," SD Mishra, DCP, Rohini said.

The youngest son of the accused Saurabh Chowdhary gave a call to the police that his father has stabbed his mother and the wife of his elder brother with a knife. Immediately the police team rushed to the spot. The injured were rushed to the hospital where the doctors declared both of them brought dead.

Cops said that the accused Satish Chowdhary suspected them of having extramarital affair and couldn't control his anger.

In the scuffle, the youngest son, Saurabh also received injuries on his hand. Police think he tried to save his mother and sister-in-law from his father's attack.

However, he was discharged after first aid. He works as software engineer in Bangalore.

"The retired teacher has been arrested and a case has been registered at the Vijay Vihar police station," said Shank Dhar Mishra, DCP Rohini.

The police has recovered the weapon of offence and is now trying to find out what exactly led the accused to take the extreme step on Friday morning. The phone records of the accused and the victims are also being analysed.

This is the second case resulting in double murder and murder and suicide in the same district of Delhi within a span of two days.

Early on Wednesday morning, bodies of a 62-year-old doctor and his 50-year-old employee were found in a sedan in Rohini's upscale Sector 13. Initial probe suggests that the doctor first shot his employee and then shot himself dead.

The two were probably having an extramarital affair which could possibly be the cause behind the incident.
