Father Found Hanging and 13-Year-Old Son Found Dead in Northeast Delhi Home

Forensic teams have examined the scene and post-mortems are under way to establish the cause and sequence of the deaths.

Overview

Police told reporters on Saturday that officers who responded to a suspected-suicide call at a Jyoti Nagar home found 54-year-old Praveen Sharma hanging and his 13-year-old son dead in the same room.
Forensic teams attended the scene, collected evidence, and both bodies were shifted to hospital mortuaries for post-mortem examinations to determine exact causes of death.
Delhi Police said procedural steps are in progress and that an inquiry is ongoing, with agency dispatches noting that proceedings under a cited code (reported as Section 194 BNSS) are being carried out.
One outlet reported that police preliminarily alleged the father may have given his son a poisonous substance before taking his own life, but that claim remains unconfirmed pending forensic and post-mortem results.
Reporting so far relies on police statements relayed by news agencies and the case is classified as developing, with authorities expected to release post-mortem findings and further investigative details next.
