Overview
- Police identified the dead as Priya Sehgal, 34, and her mother, Kusum Sinha, 63, at a Sector-17 flat in Rohini.
- A 3:50 pm PCR call led officers to the locked apartment where Priya’s brother, Megh Sinha, had broken in after spotting blood at the door.
- Officers recovered Yogesh Sehgal’s blood-stained clothes and a pair of scissors alleged to have been used in the killings.
- Using technical leads, police traced and arrested Yogesh while he was allegedly trying to place his sons in a children’s shelter; the boys were later handed to relatives.
- Police attribute the attack to a domestic quarrel that flared after the family’s August 28 birthday celebration, with another argument reported on Saturday morning.
