Ambala, July 31
Two minor sisters were found dead at their house under mysterious circumstances at Valmiki Colony in the Nahan house area of Ambala City today. The deceased have been identified as Yogita (11) and Amayra (7). Their father, Sonu, works in a factory and mother, Jyoti, is a domestic help.
The family suspects the role of a person, with whom Sonu has a monetary dispute, in the death of both girls.
The deceased’s elder brother, Saurabh, who spotted the bodies, said both girls were alone in the house. They were rushed to the hospital where the doctors declared them dead on arrival.
“Our parents had gone for work in the morning. I also accompanied my father. Since I forgot my phone at home, I came back, and found both my sisters lying unconscious in the room. Earlier in the day, a person had visited our house and had a verbal spat with my family. We suspect that he killed my sisters.”
In his complaint to the police, grandfather Ved Prakash (62) has stated that he had adopted Sonu and he (Sonu) had four children. “Sonu has been addicted to drugs for the past four years. On Wednesday around 7 am, Vikas visited our home. He accused Sonu of stealing money and hurled abuses at us. I had an argument with Sonu. Later, I received a call from Saurabh. When I reached home, I found both girls unconscious. The girls had injury marks on their necks.”
Ambala ASP Srishti Gupta reached the spot and started investigation.
Sources said the police also suspect the role of the girls’ father in their death. According to the post-mortem report, smothering and strangulation were the causes of death of both girls.
Ambala SP Surinder Singh Bhoria said, “A case has been registered on the basis of the complaint. The family has raised suspicion on a person and the matter is under investigation.”
