NEW DELHI: Three people, including a woman, were found dead inside a car near the Peeragarhi flyover in the western part of the city, the police said on Sunday.
The PCR received a call at around 3.50 pm regarding three people lying inside a car near the service lane of Peeragarhi flyover and not responding, a senior police officer said.
The deceased have been identified as Randhir (76), Shiv Naresh Singh (47), and Laxmi Devi (40).
Police said that the cause of death will be known only after the post-mortem examination is conducted. However, prima facie, it appears to be a case of suspected suicide, they said.
According to police, the caller said that one person was seated in the driver’s seat, while the other two were lying unconscious in the back seat.
Police immediately reached the spot, forcibly opened the locked car, and pulled the occupants out. They were rushed to a nearby hospital, where the doctors declared them dead.
Police recovered some documents from the vehicle. Using the car registration number, they contacted the family of one of the deceased, which reached the spot and identified the person in the driver’s seat.
The other two bodies were later identified by their family members at the hospital.
The crime and forensic teams were called at the spot. The area was cordoned off, the officer said, adding that the investigation is being carried out from all angles.
