Two sisters found dead under mysterious circumstances at home in Ambala slum
Victims, aged 11 and six years, are daughters of daily-wagers; their son claimed they had monetary dispute with a man, who has been detained.
Two minor sisters were found dead under mysterious circumstances at their house in the Valmiki Basti of Nahan House area in Ambala City on Wednesday morning, police said.
The bodies of an 11-year-old girl and a 6-year-old girl were found by their elder brother near the stairs of their house in the slum area around 9am, the police said.
The deceaseds’ brother said their parents, both daily-wagers, had left for work early in the morning and he had returned to pick up his mobile phone when he found the bodies.
He alerted neighbours, who informed the police. Soon after, the children’s parents also arrived.
After registering a murder case, the police began investigation and sent the bodies to the local civil hospital for autopsy. SP Surender Bhoria said autopsies were conducted and the bodies were handed over to the family for cremations.
“As per the family’s allegations, a few men have been detained and are being questioned. Prima facie, strangulation and other marks on neck were found on the girls’ bodies but we are yet to establish the reason behind the murder,” he added.
