When Zeeshan entered the house, he found his sister-in-law, Najma (35) and the four children lying on the floor. Foam was coming out of the children’s mouths. Nearby, Nazim was found in a semi-conscious state, in pain, with his wrists slit. A blood-stained knife was also recovered from the spot.
The children who lost their lives have been identified as Iqra (12), Shifa (8), old Aaram (8), and Khatija (6). Doctors declared the woman and children dead, while Nazim, who is from Moradabad, was rushed to a hospital where he is still in critical condition.
During the investigation, forensic teams found signs that poison had been given first to the children and then to the wife. The exact substance used has not yet been confirmed, and the bodies have been sent for post-mortem.
Police said Nazim used to run a salon in Garhi Harsaru and had frequent arguments with his wife. Early investigations suggest that a domestic dispute on Saturday evening may have led to the incident. Neighbours also shared that the family had shifted to Wazirpur about six months ago.
Police and forensic teams have collected samples from the house and started further investigation. A case is being registered as officials continue to look into all aspects of the incident.
