The victims have been identified as Irshad (32), his wife Noreen (30), their two-year-old son Ahil, and their two-month-old daughter Aksha. Police said all four bodies were sent for postmortem examination.

Earlier this month, in UP’s Pilibhit, a man allegedly killed his wife before taking his own life due to ongoing disputes. Station Officer Ravindra Kumar said 37-year-old Vinod stabbed his 35-year-old wife, Mamta. The incident happened in a forested area near the Sonakpur flyover.

The couple had been married for about nine years. Police said they frequently quarreled over their inability to have children, which may have led to the deadly dispute.
