Delhi Police on Saturday (February 28, 2026) arrested a man for allegedly killing his wife and three daughters with a sharp-edged weapon at his residence in New Delhi, officials said.

The accused, Munchun Kewat, a vegetable seller at Azadpur Mandi, had been evading arrest since the incident on Wednesday (February 25, 2026), they said. He was arrested in Rajasthan’s Kishangarh.

The victims were found dead with their throats slit at their residence in the Samaypur Badli area. The bodies were discovered inside a ground-floor room by neighbours, who alerted the police.

“The throats of all four victims were slit with a sharp-edged weapon...The family originally hails from Patna district in Bihar,” a senior police officer said.

A case was registered and the crime and forensic science laboratory (FSL) had examined the scene and had collected evidence. The bodies were sent for post-mortem.

“Our teams were working round the clock to trace the accused. Finally, the team got important leads about Kewat’s whereabouts. He was tracked in Rajasthan’s Kishangarh and a team was immediately dispatched to apprehend him. He has been arrested and is being questioned to ascertain the motive behind the murder,” the officer said. Kewat was brought back to Delhi for further interrogation.
