Saharanpur,

19 Jan (HS): The bodies of five members of the same family were found in a room

in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh. The deceased included Amin, his wife, mother, and

two sons. All five had gunshot wounds to their foreheads. Amin and his wife's

bodies were found on the floor, while those of his mother and two children were

found on the bed. Three pistols were found nearby. Upon receiving the

information, police officers and a forensic team arrived at the scene and

conducted an investigation. The house has been sealed. Everyone's mobile phones

have been confiscated.

The

station house officer said the deceased were identified as Amin Ashok (40), his

wife Anjita (37), mother Vidyawati (70) and two sons Kartik (16) and Dev (13). Ashok

had taken over his father's job as a dependent of the deceased after his death.

He was an Amin in the Nakur tehsil. Son Dev was a 9th-grade student at MTS

Public School in the town, while Kartik was a 10th-grade student at an

inter-college in Nakur. Neighbors say the family was peaceful and had no conflicts

with anyone.

Senior

Superintendent of Police Ashish Tiwari said that all the bodies were found in

the same room. Three pistols were recovered near the bodies. Police suspect

that Amin first shot his mother, wife, and two sons and then shot himself. Police

are also investigating whether family debt, job-related stress, domestic

disputes, or psychological pressure may have led Amin to take this extreme

step.

A

family quarrel broke out over something, and during that time, someone fired

shots at family members in anger. He may have then shot himself. Police are

also investigating this angle. The police are also investigating whether some

outsider entered the house and killed everyone. Police are investigating

whether the family had any disputes, financial dealings, or enmity with anyone.

Footage from nearby CCTV cameras is being examined. Neighbors are also being

questioned. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination and the

incident will be revealed soon.
