Delhi: A disturbing incident unfolded in Deoli Village, South Delhi, where 20-year-old Arjun Tanwar, a state-level boxer, has been arrested for the brutal murder of his family. The victims include his father, ex-armyman Rajesh Kumar Tanwar (51), mother Komal (46), and sister Kavita (23). This chilling crime has sent shockwaves through the community and raised questions about the motives behind such a horrific act.

A Family Torn Apart

According to police reports, Arjun had a strained relationship with his parents and felt overshadowed by his sister, whom he believed his parents favored. Tensions escalated recently when it was revealed that the family intended to transfer property ownership to Kavita. Police noted that there had been a significant argument during Kavita's birthday party on December 1, which may have contributed to Arjun's feelings of resentment.

Arjun, who previously studied at the Army Public School in Dhaula Kuan, was described as introverted and disturbed. After committing the murders, he attempted to stage a scene by claiming he was at the gym during the incident. However, investigations revealed inconsistencies in his statements.

The Gruesome Details of the Crime

Police reported that Arjun first killed his sister while she slept by slitting her throat. He then moved upstairs, where he stabbed his father in the neck and attacked his mother in the washroom. After the horrific act, he changed out of his blood-stained clothes and disposed of them along with the murder weapon knife at Sanjay Van, approximately 8 kilometers from the crime scene.

The police recovered a blood-stained sweatshirt and the army knife used in the killings from Sanjay Van later that night. Joint Commissioner of Police SK Jain confirmed that there were no signs of forced entry or robbery at the family home, indicating that this was a premeditated act.

Community Shock and Reactions

The local community is grappling with disbelief over the tragedy. Neighbors described Rajesh as soft-spoken and proud of his son’s achievements in boxing. One neighbor expressed shock, stating they had never witnessed any family disputes. Rajesh’s cousin also remarked on their good relationship, stating there were no apparent issues between father and son.

Arjun's actions have left many questioning how such a violent outcome could arise from familial tensions. As investigations continue, authorities are piecing together the events leading up to this tragic incident.
