Dayalpur Man Kills 6-Year-Old Son, Then Dies by Suicide, Police Say
Police say addiction-linked financial strain may have driven the act, with a probe underway.
Overview
- Police identified the deceased as Sagar, 32, and his son Lakshit, 6, found at Sagar’s house in Dayalpur village.
- The deaths, which police say happened Sunday night after Sagar brought the child back from nearby Machhagar earlier that day, were discovered by a neighbor who called officers.
- One published account reports Sagar tied the boy’s body to his chest before hanging himself, a detail police are examining.
- Investigators say early findings point to financial strain linked to gambling and alcohol use, and they also cited loneliness as a factor.
- Officers sent the bodies for post-mortem and the probe continues, as media reports conflict on whether Dayalpur falls under Gurugram or Faridabad.
