A head constable of the Delhi Police was found dead on the second floor of his flat in Narela on Saturday, September 19, 2026, after police said he strangled his wife and then hanged himself. The victims, 40‑year‑old Head Constable Monu and his 35‑year‑old wife Meenu, were discovered together in the same room.
The couple’s children returned from school and found the flat locked from the inside. After several unsuccessful knocks, they called the police. A PCR call was received around 1 p.m. Police, assisted by the fire brigade, entered the premises and recovered the bodies. No suicide note was found at the scene.
Investigators reviewed Monu’s 15‑year service record and spoke with colleagues. According to DCP (North) Niharika Bhatt, his record was clean and no signs of distress were identified. Preliminary findings suggest the constable first strangled his wife before taking his own life.
A forensic team, the crime squad and senior officers examined the scene. The bodies were transported to Raja Harish Chandra Hospital for post‑mortem examinations. A case has been registered and further inquiry is underway to determine the exact sequence of events. Those in distress may contact Tele MANAS at 14416 for assistance.
