The horrific incident came to light when the mother of the accused, who lives in the same house, knocked on the door of his room. After repeated attempts when her son did not open the door, she called the neighbours who broke in to find four bodies lying in a pool of blood. The neighbours then informed the police who quickly sprung into action
"The accused has been arrested. He is said to be under depression, but only medical reports will clear the situation," said Vijay Kumar, Deputy Commissioner of Police, South Delhi.
"Shukla is a teacher. We found a note on him saying that he had murdered his family but it gave no reason for the crime," Kumar added.
