The women’s mother was found in another room and was alive but unconscious. She was immediately taken to the AIIMS Trauma Centre, where she is currently undergoing treatment.

In a shocking incident, two women, sisters, were found dead inside their home south Delhi’s Malviya Nagar on Thursday evening, with police suspecting a case of murder-suicide allegedly instigated by their mother.

The bodies were discovered after neighbours alerted authorities, prompting officers to rush to the scene.

According to the investigators, the mother killed her daughters, one by one, and then tried to kill herself, albeit unsuccessfully.

After receiving information around 6:10 pm that the door of a residence was not being opened despite repeated attempts by family members, a team from Malviya Nagar police reached the spot and found the main door locked from the inside.

After forcing their way inside, police said officers found the bodies of the two sisters in separate rooms.

“One woman was found lying on a bed with a pillow placed over her face, while the other had a ligature mark around her neck, indicating possible strangulation," Hindustan Times quoted an investigator, who did not wish to be named.

Police said the women’s mother was found in another room and was alive but unconscious. She was immediately taken to the AIIMS Trauma Centre, where she is currently undergoing treatment.

The preliminary findings suggest that the mother may have first killed the two children before attempting to end her own life, police said. Crime and forensic science laboratory teams inspected the spot and collected evidence.

“The matter is under investigation and further details will be ascertained after the woman regains consciousness and forensic reports are examined," a second senior police officer, who did not wish to be named, said.
