In a shocking turn of events in Delhi's Neb Sarai area, a 20-year-old man who informed the police about his parents' and sister's death has admitted to killing them. The accused, Arjun, committed the murders in a premeditated act fueled by familial discord and resentment over property matters.

The Discovery

On December 4, Arjun contacted the police, claiming to have found his father, Rajesh Kumar (51), mother Komal (46), and sister Kavita lying in pools of blood when he returned from a morning walk. All three victims were found with stab wounds, leading to an immediate investigation.

Police and forensic teams arrived at the scene, where no signs of forced entry or theft were discovered, prompting suspicion about the nature of the crime.

Investigation and Confession

Initially, Arjun claimed ignorance about the killings, but discrepancies in his statements raised red flags. Under sustained interrogation, Arjun confessed to the murders, revealing pent-up anger and bitterness toward his family.

Motive Behind the Murders

Arjun’s resentment stemmed from his strained relationship with his father, a retired serviceman, who frequently reprimanded him over his studies and behavior. He was also enraged after learning that his parents planned to transfer their property to his sister, Kavita, whom he believed they favored. “He felt sidelined by his family and was particularly angered over the property transfer,” said Joint Commissioner of Police (Southern Range) SK Jain.

On his parents’ wedding anniversary, Arjun used a kitchen knife to kill his family while they were asleep. To cover up his actions, he staged a morning walk and called the police to report the deaths.

A Promising Life Gone Awry

Arjun, a second-year BA student at Delhi University, is a trained boxer who has represented Delhi State and won a silver medal in a championship. Despite his athletic talent and academic pursuits, unresolved family tensions led him down a devastating path.

Legal Proceedings and Community Shock

Arjun is now in police custody, and investigations are ongoing. The incident has left the community in disbelief, struggling to reconcile the image of a promising young athlete with the heinous crime he committed. This case serves as a stark reminder of how unaddressed familial conflicts and resentment can lead to tragic outcomes.

Authorities continue to piece together evidence to gain a clearer understanding of the events and motives behind this gruesome act.
