A woman allegedly committed suicide after strangulating her 7-year-old twins today in Kharigaon locality of Kalwa as she was reportedly upset due to their sickness, the police said.
The incident took place between 2 pm and 6 pm and the bodies were found by the woman's husband on returning home from work, they said.
He alerted the neighbours who in turn called the police.
"We suspect that the 32-year-old woman strangulated the boys to death and later hanged herself from the ceiling of the house," an official from the Kalwa police station said.
The police recovered a suicide note from the house wherein the woman had said that she was fed up with the children's sickness, the official said.
The family was staying at Anand Vihar housing complex in Kalwa.
The bodies were sent to the government hospital for post- mortem, said the police adding, they are investigating the reasons for the extreme step.
