Sudesh hacked her son Aarav with a knife, stabbed her daughter Komal and confined them in a room yesterday afternoon, a police official said today.
She then called Reena Taneja, her neighbour on the pretext of discussing some matter.
"Reena who was not aware about Sudesh's intention reached her house where Sudesh stabbed her to death and then stabbed herself too in a bid to commit suicide.
"She also had written a note with blood in which she had accused Manoj Taneja (Reena's husband) of being responsible for it," the official said.
An FIR under sections 302 (murder) 307 (attempt to murder) of IPC has been registered against Sudesh, police said.
The official said they would arrest Sudesh once she is discharged from the hospital.
Sudesh is the wife of one Anil Sharma who works at the Corporate Communication department of an English newspaper here.
As per information, Sudesh works as a nurse in a nearby hospital. Sudesh was living in the area with her husband and their children for past few years. They purchased the flat from Manoj Taneja who lived with his family close to their house.
