New Delhi, February 8 Three people, including a woman, were found dead inside a car near the Peeragarhi flyover in outer Delhi on Sunday, police said.
The initial investigation suggests that it may have been a suicide pact. However, no suicide note has been recovered so far, they said.
A PCR call was received at 3:50 pm, informing the police that three people were sitting inside a car with locked doors and were unresponsive.
Upon reaching the spot, police personnel found the car parked near a service lane next to the flyover with three occupants sitting motionless inside. Emergency services were alerted, and a forensic team rushed to the scene.
The area was immediately cordoned off.
"The bodies were found inside the car with the doors closed, and there were no signs of a struggle at the scene. No visible external injuries were found on the bodies, and all valuables, including mobile phones and personal belongings, were found intact inside the vehicle," the police officer added.
According to police, the three victims have been identified as Randhir (76), Shiv Naresh Singh (47), both residents of Baprola, and Laxmi Devi (40).
The car belonged to Randhir.
It is not immediately known if the deceased persons were related, they said.
Preliminary inquiries suggest that the car had been parked at the spot for some time before being noticed by passersby, who alerted the police after seeing unresponsive occupants.
The investigators are examining all possible angles to determine the exact circumstances leading to the deaths. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem to determine the exact cause of death, the police said.
The police are also verifying the relationships between the deceased persons and checking call detail records, CCTV footage from nearby areas, and the vehicle's movements prior to the incident to reconstruct the sequence of events.
Further investigation is underway.
