Badarpur Shocker: Family Of Three Found Dead In Suspected Suicide Pact, Decomposed Bodies Recovered

New Delhi: Three members of a family were mysteriously found dead in their residence in the Badarpur area of Delhi. The victims, identified as Pooja (42), her 18-year-old daughter, and her younger daughter (8-9 years old), were discovered dead, due to poisoning. The bodies were in a decomposed state, indicating that they had been dead for around 4-5 days.

According to preliminary investigations, financial distress appears to be the primary motivator behind their extreme step. The family had reportedly not paid rent for the past two months, stating the dire straits they were in. 

According to a senior police official of the Delhi Police, the family's struggles began long before their tragic demise. With a mounting rent debt and no visible means of income, they were facing a bleak future. The neighbours reported that the family had been living in poverty, with barely enough to make ends meet. The pressure of making ends meet had taken a toll on their mental health, ultimately prompting them to take the extreme step.

Meanwhile, the incident has sent a shockwave in the entire area, with residents reeling in shock. The residents in the area have expressed their grief over the incident, describing the family as "friendly" and "kind." 

The police official stated that the family used to reside at the second floor of a building in Badarpur's Molarband.

The crime team was called to the spot and evidence was collected for further investigation. The bodies were sent to the mortuary for postmortem and a probe was initiated.

Further legal action into the matter is being taken.
