No Food and Extreme Heat Kills 2, Decomposed Bodies Found

In a shocking case, two elderly people in Delhi's Rana Pratap Bagh under Bharat Nagar police station were found dead. According to the police, the deceased could have died due to lack of food and extreme heat.

As per News18 report, bodies of Chaman Lal Khosla (95) and his sister Raj Kumari (77) were found in in a decomposed stage inside their residence. Police have sent the bodies for post-mortem to find out the actual cause of death.

The incident came to light on Wednesday morning when a milk vendor went to their house. "He knocked the door for 10 minutes, but there was no response. He informed the neighbours who forced open the door. The two siblings were lying inside the house and a rotten smell was coming out of it," said a police officer from Bharat Nagar police station.

According to the statement of the milkman, he delivered milk on Sunday and when he came on Monday, the deceased didn't open the door. He returned without delivering the milk. The same happened on Tuesday as well. On getting suspicious, the milkman and neighbours broke open the door, says media reports. 

"The police investigation team has not found any external injuries on their bodies. The neighbours said that Raj Kumari was doing household jobs. It is possible that she died first and her brother died due to lack of food and heat," the official added.

Chaman Lal and Raj Kumari were living in their ancestral house and both are unmarried. They barely interacted with their neighbours.
