New Delhi:
A senior Sena Bhawan official and his wife were found dead at their residence in South Delhi's Hudco Place on Friday. According to initial reports, the deaths may have been caused because of a fire at their residence. The fire department had received a call about the incident at 1.35 pm.
The victim Kumar Yashkar, who had burn injuries on his body, was a senior official posted at Sena Bhawan. However, there were no signs of external injury on his wife Archana's body. The couple has been married for seven years.
The post-mortem and the forensic reports are expected.
Though reports suggest suffocation could be the cause of the death, the police have not ruled out other angles, which include a case of pact suicide. The police are also trying to find out why Mr Yashkar did not go to work today.
Mr Yashkar was the Deputy Director of Health Services at the Sena Bhawan, which is under the Defence Ministry.
