Three people, including a woman, were found dead inside a parked car near the Peeragarhi flyover in outer Delhi on Sunday, prompting a police investigation into the circumstances. Passersby spotted the motionless occupants inside the vehicle and alerted authorities in the afternoon.
The deceased have been identified as 62-year-old Randhir, 42-year-old Shivnaresh, and 40-year-old Laxmi. Randhir and Shivnaresh were residents of Delhi's Ranhola area, while Laxmi hailed from Jahangirpuri. The car, belonging to Randhir, was parked near a service lane adjacent to the flyover.
Preliminary findings suggest a possible suicide pact, as there were no visible injuries or signs of struggle, and all personal belongings, including mobile phones, were found intact inside the vehicle. No suicide note has been recovered so far.
