Update: 2018-07-27 18:15 GMT

New Delhi: Delhi Police on Friday said it would expedite the viscera examination of three deceased minor sisters who died of starvation in east Delhi's Mandawali, adding that the result would give a factual conclusion of the cause of death and reveal any chances of foul play.

Meanwhile, the sub-divisional magistrate enquiry ordered by the Delhi government revealed that the girls' father Mangal had given them some unknown medicine with hot water the day they died.

As a result, Delhi Police have intensified the search for Mangal and formed six teams.

Cops believe that Mangal will shed more light on the mental status of his wife Beena and the condition of his girls before he left them.

Though the second post-mortem report from GTB Hospital had ruled out any external injury marks, police said that the doctors have not provided a final opinion yet.

The initial post mortem conducted at LBS Hospital revealed that the girls died of complications arising from starvation and malnutrition.

The girls were rushed to LBS Hospital after Mangal's friend Narayan noticed their miserable conddition. However, they were declared brought dead by doctors on July 23. Meanwhile, Beena has been admitted to a hospital.

"We are questioning Mangal's previous employers, his friends and aquaintances to trace him. Mangal is not carrying a phone with him. Our investigation has revealed that he had gone missing in the past too for four-five days but would usually return," said DCP East Pankaj Singh.
