A woman in her 50s and her two daughters were found dead inside a flat in southwest Delhi's Vasant Vihar area on Saturday. Suicide notes recovered from the flat have revealed their spine-chilling plan.

A senior police officer said, on Saturday at 8.55 pm, police received information that flat number 207 of Vasant Apartment in Vasant Vihar was locked from inside and the persons inside the house were not responding.

Police managed to open the door and found that the gas cylinder was partially opened in the house and there was a suicide note too, the officer said.

Three bodies were found lying on the bed and three small ‘angithi’ were kept in the room. It is presumed that they have died due to suffocation, Deputy Commissioner of Police (southwest) Manoj C said.

As the police entered the house, they found a note which read, “ Too much deadly gas… carbon monoxide inside. It’s flammable. Please ventilate the room by opening the window and opening the fan. Do not light match, candle or anything!! Be careful while removing the curtain because room is full of hazardous gas. Do not inhale.”

Police found all doors, windows and ventilators packed with a foil-like substance, apparently to ensure smoke does not escape the room and no one can see within. The probe has revealed all of this material was ordered online.

The deceased have been identified as Manju Srivastava (54 yrs) and her daughters Anshika (30) and Anku (26). 

Manju's husband had died in April last year due to coronavirus and since then the family was in depression, and she was also bed ridden due to illness, police said. (Inputs from agencies)
