Desk: Two sacked employees murdered a couple and their domestic helper at their
three-story home in Delhi on Tuesday in what police call an "act of
revenge."
Officials said the killers missed the couple's two-year-old sleeping daughter because she was under a blanket.
Shalu Ahuja, who ran a beauty parlour on the ground floor of the building in Ashok Nagar, east Delhi, had recently fired two of her employees. When she found out they were dating, she accused them of "unprofessional behaviour." Her husband, Sameer Ahuja, was also arguing with them.
According to police, the man felt humiliated and plotted revenge against the Ahujas.
He talked about his plan with his girlfriend and two other friends, Sachin and Sujit, who agreed to assist him. According to police, they recruited two more men.
Security footage shows that five people arrived at the house around 8 a.m. on two bikes.
On the ground floor, the bodies of Shalu Ahuja and her domestic help, Sapna, were discovered. Sameer Ahuja was discovered dead on the first floor of the building, with facial and head injuries.
"They did not kill the child because they were unable to locate her," an official stated.
The two women's throats were slit. According to officials, Sameer Ahuja's head was bashed in with a frying pan.
Sapna, the maid, was killed because she happened to be present at the time, according to the police.
Sujit and Sameer have been arrested. Four others are missing, including the two main accused.
