Police have no leads in the murder of a senior bureaucrat and his wife, who were found dead in their house in Hazrat Nizamuddin area of south-east Delhi, as the CCTV cameras installed at the residence have not revealed anything.
Police are awaiting postmortem reports of the couple, who were found dead yesterday evening, to ascertain the time of death to piece together the sequence of events.
K Vijay Kumar (57), who was working as Cost Advisor with the Ministry of Food, was found lying in a pool of blood on the floor of a room while his wife Sita (51), a bank manager, was found hanging with her dupatta from the ventilator of an adjacent room yesterday evening in their Kaka Nagar house in south Delhi.
"A deep cut was found on Kumar's neck which indicated that his throat was slit," police had said.
The incident came to light yesterday evening at around 4:15 when Kumar's daughter Varanya (22) reached home and found the main door of the house latched from inside, which was not opened by anybody even after she rang the bell several times.
When she tried to peep into one of the rooms through the window, she saw her father lying inside in a pool of blood after which she raised an alarm, police had said.
The bodies were sent to a nearby government hospital for postmortem after initial investigation and after forensic teams picked up evidence.
Police have registered a murder case and three teams are investigating it from all possible angles. No signs of forced entry were found in the house, police had said.
