Delhi Triple Murder Solved: Metro Station Guard’s Intelligence Cracks Case Of Family Killings

Delhi Triple Murder Solved: In a shocking twist, police in South Delhi arrested the man who killed his parents and brother in Maidan Garhi on Thursday evening. The accused, 22-year-old Siddharth, was caught when he tried to end his life by jumping from the AIIMS Metro Station. Security guards on duty there acted quickly and managed to stop him and handed him over to the police. The deceased are Prem Singh (45-50), his wife Rajani (40-45) and their elder son Ritik (24).

According to officials, Siddharth tried to jump in front of a moving train at 12.39pm on Thursday. “A timely emergency brake applied by the train’s driver saved his life,” said a Delhi Metro Rail Police (DMRP) officer. He was handed over to DMRP personnel at the INA Metro police station who later informed the investigating team. Singh was taken into custody and booked for murder under Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at Maidangarhi police station.

A Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) official confirmed the incident, saying the man, later identified as Siddharth, was seen standing on the edge of the metro track at platform number 2 of AIIMS metro station from where he jumped on the tracks. “The CCTV observer promptly alerted the station control room and an oncoming metro train was alerted and asked to halt. The man only suffered minor injuries and was pulled from the tracks by our team and handed over to a head constable from the INA metro station,” said a CISF official, adding prompt action helped prevent any mishap.

After recovering the three bodies on Wednesday, police said the accused has some mental health issues. They also claimed to have recovered documents and medicines showing Siddharth has been under psychiatric treatment for the past 12 years at multiple mental health institutions. Initial inquiry revealed that he was undergoing psychiatric treatment and told someone that he had killed all three of his family members and that he "will not stay here anymore", police said.

Police claimed the records showed he was undergoing treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and "aggressive behaviour" for more than a decade. "His history of psychiatric treatment suggests long-standing behavioural issues," a senior officer said. Enquiries also revealed that he had strained relations with his family due to his condition, he added.
