Man Slaughters Wife and Two Daughters at Home in Delhi; Police Suggest Possible Domestic Conflict
Breaking News: Man Arrested for Allegedly Killing Wife and Two Daughters in Delhi
A tragic incident unfolded in Delhi's Karawal Nagar area on the night of August 8-9, 2025, as a man named Pradeep (full name reported as Pardeep Kashyap or Pradeep Kumar) is accused of killing his wife Jayshree (28 years old) and their two minor daughters, Ishika (7) and Antu (5).
According to the latest updates, Pradeep allegedly murdered his family by strangulation while they were asleep. The motive, as per the accused’s confession and police investigations, centers on an ongoing marital dispute, particularly triggered by a fight over Jayshree’s wish to visit her parental home in Bulandshahr for Rakshabandhan, which Pradeep opposed.
Forensic teams have already collected evidence from the crime scene, and the bodies were sent for post-mortem at GTB Hospital. Authorities have registered a case, and the police are conducting a thorough investigation. Pradeep was arrested within hours after police launched a manhunt.
The bodies of the victims were found on their bed at their home. The police are yet to disclose the specific details about the method of killing. Neighbors learned about the incident at 6 am on Saturday morning.
This incident shares similarities with past familial triple murders in Delhi linked to domestic conflicts and financial tensions. However, no indications have emerged that the motive involved anything beyond domestic discord. The police are still investigating all leads, including possible suspicions Pradeep had about the wife’s fidelity.
The case filed against Pradeep is still active, and he is currently in police custody. Our thoughts are with the victims' family and friends during this difficult time. We will continue to bring you updates as more information becomes available.
