Delhi Man Arrested in Rohini Double Murder of Wife and Mother-in-Law After Birthday-Gift Dispute

Investigators are focusing on a seized pair of scissors believed to be the weapon.

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.
