Suspect arrested

A 25-year-old drug-addict allegedly stabbed his parents, sister and grandmother to death in southwest Delhi's Palam days after returning from a rehabilitation centre, police said on Wednesday. Keshav killed his entire family on Tuesday night following a quarrel, officials said, adding the bodies were found in separate rooms at their home with blood all over. The deceased have been identified as grandmother Deewana Devi, 75, father Dinesh, 50, mother Darshana and sister Urvarshi, 18.

As Keshav went on the stabbing spree, the screams of his family members alerted neighbours and some relatives, who live in the same building. According to a police officer, they received information around 10:30 pm on Tuesday about a quarrel on the upper floor of a house. The caller and his relatives caught hold of the accused and handed him over to the police, the police officer said. — pti
