A double-murder house in Vikhroli was struck by fire early Monday morning, just four days after police sealed the premises following the deaths of a 40-year-old man and his 14-year-old son. The cause of the blaze has raised doubts over the circumstances surrounding the murders. The house, located in Shiv Chhaya Society, Parksite, Vikhroli (West), caught fire at around 4:30 am, with a gas cylinder reportedly exploding during the blaze.
No one was injured, but the entire household was destroyed. The house had been sealed by police following the alleged murders, which allegedly occurred around 12:15 am on August 6 due to a family dispute over loud music played on a mobile phone. Sunil Kalicharan Vishwakarma, 40, and his son Shlok Vishwakarma, 14, were accused of being attacked with knives during the incident.
Sunil's brothers Surendra and Suraj, along with Surendra's wife Preeti, were arrested in connection with the case. The fire has led to suspicions that it may have been set deliberately to destroy evidence, as the police investigation into the murders continues.
