Three days after the incident in which a man had killed four of his family members in Mayur Vihar, on the basis of the suicide note of the accused Rajiv Sunda, the city police registered an abetment to suicide case against the in-laws of the son of the accused.

Rajiv had committed suicide after the incident as he had jumped before a train in Jagraon on the same day, but his body was identified yesterday only.

The booked accused are Ashok Gulati and Gaurav Gulati, residents of Haibowal. They are yet to be arrested in the case.

Additional DCP 3 Sameer Verma said on Wednesday morning that Rajiv Sunda had killed four of his family members, including his wife, Sunita 55, son Ashish 35, Ashish’s wife Garima and a 13-year-old Ashish’s son Saket. He had also left behind a suicide note in which had held the in-laws of Ashish responsible for his suicide

Rajiv had left behind the suicide note near the bodies in which he mentioned that his daughter-in-law, in connivance with her father Ashok Gulati and son Gaurav Gulati of Haibowal, was demanding a huge sum of money from him and when he refused to give the money, the accused threatened to file a false case of domestic violence against him on the complaint of his daughter-in-law Garima.

The accused had also mentioned in the suicide note that he had already given Rs7 lakh to Garima’s father and now they were again demanding Rs10 lakh on the plea that Garima’s brother had to go abroad.

Due to this, he killed them all and himself committed suicide.
