Gurgaon: The Gurgaon police on Tuesday found bodies of two women and a man with their throats slit in the Aravalli forest near Sohna, about 16 km from Gurgaon.
The police said the dead included a couple and their neighbour. They were all construction workers from a village in Panna district of Madhya Pradesh, who had ventured into the forest near Ghamdauj village to collect firewood.
A forensic team collected evidence from the scene of crime. Sniffer dogs were deployed to search for more clues.
While police officers are hunting for the husband of one of the murdered woman, they added that all the angles are being investigated.
“The matter is being probed and we have called the relatives of the victims to identify them,” said SHO Umesh Kumar.
The deceased have been identified as Lakhan, his wife Sheela and Komalbai. They belonged to the same family and worked as labourers in Gurgaon.
The four persons, including Komalbai’s husband Chindya alias Raju (40), had gone to collect firewood in the forest on Monday evening. However, they didn’t return.
Police probe suggests that Chindya could be involved in the triple murder, who fled after committing the crime.
“We informed Kali Charan, a relative of Lakhan. He reached the spot and identified the bodies. The murder weapon is yet to be recovered and hunts are on to nab Chindya. A sharp-edged weapon had been used in the crime,” said an official.
The police has filed a murder case under Section 302 against unknown person and other relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at Bhondsi police station.
