A woman allegedly drowned her two minor children and then hanged herself at her Mandawli house in East Delhi on Thursday, police said. A marital dispute is said to be the reason.Police said the woman, 30-year-old Sarita, had had a heated argument with her husband Devender Yadav who works in an export house in Patparganj on Wednesday night.According to police, Sarita first drowned her six-year-old daughter Pari in the washing machine tub and then drowned her 11-month-old son Rudraksh in a bucket. She then hanged herself from the ceiling fan on the first floor of their two-storey house.Her elderly mother-in-law was on the ground floor at that time, police said. They had got married in 2005 and Rudraksh was due to turn one this week, a neighbour said."Today (Wednesday) Devender Yadav went to his office without having breakfast. At noon, Sarita called Devendra and said she is going to kill herself," said police.On returning from office, Yadav found the door of the house bolted from inside. When no one answered the door despite repeated knocks, he broke in and found the bodies. He was questioned, police said."It appears like suicide as the door was locked from inside but we are looking at all the angles," police said.
