In what left the local Rajendera Park area of Gurugram horrified, a landlord allegedly murdered four people, including three members of his tenant’s family and his own daughter-in-law, in the wee hours of Tuesday.

The accused enraged over alleged illicit relationship between his daughter-in-law Sunita and tenant Krishan Kumar attacked not just the duo but also Krishan’s wife and their two children.

While four died on the spot, younger daughter of Krishan Kumar has been rushed to Safdarjung Hospital in a critical condition.

The accused, Rao Rai Singh, who is an ex-Army man and now a property dealer, surrendered before the police confessing to the murders.

The police immediately rushed to the spot and found four dead with evident wounds from a sharp-edged weapon. One of the children was still breathing and was thus rushed to hospital.

Forensic team was also rushed to the spot.

According to the police, Rai Singh walked into local police station to surrender confessing to killing five in their sleep.

He said that he had suspected his daughter-in-law and the tenant of having an affair and there was a constant quarrel at home since the last two years.

The tenant was neither vacating nor withdrawing from the relationship.

“This was the only end to immorality that plagued my house,” Rai Singh reportedly told police.

The police have registered an FIR and sent the bodies for post-mortem.
