• The suspect fled to Paris after ‘slitting’ daughter’s throat, ‘pushing’ son off building
• Jeet had an extramarital relationship with a local woman, due to which his wife and children had been living separately for the past few months

The girl died on the spot, while the badly injured boy was found lying on the street in front of the building near the market square. He was shifted to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries later, said the police in Offenbach.

After bringing him to Germany from France, the police were interrogating Jeet to find out the exact cause and immediate provocation behind the killing.

Sources claimed Jeet had an extramarital relationship with a local woman, due to which his wife and children had been living separately for the past few months. It could have been a possible trigger for the murders, they said. He fled to France after the crime.

The local authorities in Hanoi stated Balbir and her children had been living in the high-rise apartment for the past one year. Balbir’s parents, who live at Baghapurana, had alerted the Moga police about the incident, fearing Jeet could return to India.
