A property dealer, his wife and mother-in-law were shot dead by unidentified assailants at his home in Vijay Nagar locality of Rohtak on Friday. A 17-year-old daughter of the deceased property dealer was also injured in the firing incident. She has been admitted to the local PGIMS.

Rohtak SP Rahul Sharma, other senior police officials and forensic experts rushed to examine the scene of crime and took stock of the situation. Sharma constituted special teams to investigate the matter and maintained that the assailants would be nabbed soon.

The deceased have been identified as Pradeep, his wife Babli and Babli’s mother Roshni.

Shockingly, as per police sources, nobody in the neighbourhood got to know about the firing incident involving three murders. Hence, mystery shrouds the triple murder which took place in broad daylight.

“The matter came to light when a brother of the deceased property dealer, who lives in the adjacent portion of the same house, went to his brother’s portion and saw Pradeep, his wife and mother-in-law lying in a pool of blood this afternoon. Pradeep’s daughter, who was alive by then, was rushed to the local PGIMS,” said police spokesperson Sunny Laura.

He said no weapon had been found from the scene of crime, adding that a door of the house of the deceased was also found broken.

Fear and tension gripped the locality in which the gruesome murders took place. Police investigation was on till the filing of this report. No arrests have been reported so far.
