Faridabad family found dead: ‘Daughter visited them during weekends’

His son, Darpan (28), an engineer working in Gurgaon, said: “I was shocked and couldn’t understand what had happened. When I spoke to my parents last night, they said they were meeting my sister and her husband.”

Pradeep Mediratta, the doctor’s elder brother who lives in Hyderabad, said, “Darpan called around 2.30 pm on Saturday. He said his parents and sister were dead. When I asked him how, he didn’t answer and started crying. I tried to console him but he cut the call. I kept calling him and finally reached him at 4 pm. He told us that someone had murdered the family.”

Rashim Narula, a relative, said Priyanka and her husband would go to Faridabad over the weekends. Meanwhile, police said they are investigating the case from all angles.

“Darpan told us he knew the accused, Mukesh, who is a gym trainer. We are checking call detail records of the accused to establish more facts,” said a senior police officer at sector 8 station in Faridabad.
