Noida couple, children found dead: Police book three family members for abetment to suicide

In Rabupura, a village in Greater Noida, a tragic incident unfolded on Saturday morning when a Noida couple and their three children were discovered lifeless within their residence. The police have registered a formal complaint against three family members, accusing them of aiding the suicide. The victims identified as Mahesh, 37, his wife Lalita, 35, their sons Laddu, 11, and Sakshat, 3, and daughter Mishti, 7.

Initially, food poisoning was suspected, but the cause of death remains under investigation. The family's post-mortem and forensic examination is pending, with collected food samples undergoing analysis. The police allege that Lalita's brother, Akaash, filed a complaint with the authorities, leading to the arrest of the three suspects, who reside in Delhi.

Among the accused, Mahesh's sister Sunita, 45, is suspected of coercing their mother, Chandravati, into transferring the family home to her name, causing Mahesh great distress. CCTV footage analysis indicated no one entered or exited the home during the night after their return from a fair. Neighbors confirmed that no one responded to repeated calls from Laddu's friend, who entered the house and discovered the bodies.
