Elderly Couple Killed in East Delhi Home as Police Probe Robbery or Insider Angle

Evidence of missing jewellery with no forced entry has shifted the probe toward robbery or a perpetrator familiar to the couple.

Overview

  • Virender Kumar Bansal, 75, and his wife Parvesh, 65, were found dead in separate rooms on the third floor of their Ram Nagar Extension residence after a 12:30 am PCR call from their son.
  • An FIR is registered and crime and forensic teams have collected evidence, with post-mortem examinations pending to determine precise causes of death.
  • Initial examination noted injuries to Virender’s head and face, and investigators say the motive is still being assessed from all angles.
  • Hindustan Times reports Parvesh’s jewellery was missing and there were no signs of a break-in, leading police to examine both a robbery attempt and the possibility of a known visitor.
  • Police are questioning family and neighbours; the son was interrogated and released, house cameras were not working, and teams are scanning area CCTV and call records to trace suspects.
