The deceased have been identified as Prem Singh (aged between 45–50), his wife Rajani (40–45), and their 24-year-old son Ritik. Their bodies were discovered late on Wednesday, prompting the police to immediately deploy a forensic team to the scene for inspection.

The triple murder has shocked the Maidangarhi locality, leaving residents in disbelief over the incident. Authorities have assured that all leads are being pursued to establish the sequence of events and bring clarity to the case. Further investigation is underway.
