New Delhi, Dec 12: A 52-year-old woman and her two sons were found dead inside their southeast Delhi residence on Friday, with police suspecting that the trio died by suicide.

DCP (Southeast) Hemant Tiwari said the incident came to light around 2.47 pm when a police team arrived at the house to execute a court order related to possession of the property. Despite repeated knocks, there was no response. Officers then used a duplicate key to enter the premises.

Inside, they found Anuradha Kapoor (52) and her sons Ashish Kapoor (32) and Chaitanya Kapoor (27) hanging from the ceiling.

A handwritten note recovered from the room indicated that the family had been battling depression. “The note suggests they were under severe emotional distress, which may have led to the extreme step,” the DCP said.

The bodies have been shifted to the AIIMS mortuary for post-mortem and further legal procedures. Police are investigating all angles, including the family’s financial and social background, to determine the circumstances that led to the tragedy.
