In a shocking incident in Delhi, a 40-year-old man shot his wife and two minor daughters after intoxicating them and later killed himself, the police said on Friday.
According to the police, the bodies of four people were found in a room on the fourth floor of a building in the Jafrabad area in Northeast Delhi.
Surprisingly, two minor sons of the deceased man identified as Israr Ahmad, aged four and 13 years, were outside the house but Israr did not do anything to them.
