A man, his wife and a daughter were allegedly stabbed to death in south Delhi's Neb Sarai this morning, police said. His son survived as he was out on a morning walk. The victims have been identified as Rajesh (53), his wife Komal (47), and their 23-year-old daughter Kavita.
According to reports, the son had left the house around 5 am for his routine morning walk. When he returned home, he saw the bodies of his parents and sister, all allegedly stabbed to death.
Police officials rushed to the spot and have launched an investigation into the matter.
"Prima facie, there is no ransacking or stealing of articles from the house," the police said.

"After we reached, the son told us that he went out for a morning walk and when he returned he saw that his parents and sister had been stabbed to death and blood had spanned all around. He told us that it was their marriage anniversary and he went after wishing them," the neighbour said.
Atishi, Arvind Kejriwal Attack Centre
Delhi Chief Minister Atishi launched a sharp attack on the Centre, accusing it of failing to fulfil its responsibility of providing security to the residents.
"There was a triple murder in Neb Sarai this morning. Murders are happening in broad daylight in Delhi, bullets are being fired, and drugs are being sold openly. The central government has only one responsibility in Delhi - to provide security to the people of Delhi. They have completely failed in their responsibility," the senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader said on X.
Her party colleague and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal also accused the Centre of allowing criminals a free hand and failing to ensure law and order in the national capital.
"Three murders in the same house in Neb Sarai… This is extremely painful and frightening. Every day, Delhiites wake up to such frightening news. Criminals have been given a free hand, and law and order has collapsed. Homes are being destroyed, innocent lives are being lost. And those who are responsible are silently watching all this happen," he posted on X.
Delhi Police operates under the Union Ministry of Home Affairs.
The AAP has intensified its attack on the Centre following a series of violent incidents in the city, accusing it of neglecting Delhi's law and order situation ahead of the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections.
