On Saturday, a Delhi court denied bail to Sunita Arora, a 54-year-old woman accused of murdering her two daughters in Malviya Nagar. The court's decision, made by additional sessions judge Hargurvarinder Singh Jaggi, was based on strong circumstantial evidence indicating that Sunita committed the double murder. The tragic incident occurred on March 5, 2026, when her husband alerted the police after his wife and daughters failed to respond. Upon police arrival, they found the two sisters, aged 34 and 28, dead in separate rooms, while Sunita was discovered unconscious with a slit wrist. The court noted that the doors were locked from the inside, with no forced entry, and highlighted the recovery of suspicious items at the scene, including a stone mortar and a pestle containing white powder. The prosecution argued that the postmortem confirmed the daughters' deaths were homicidal and that Sunita's release could jeopardize the investigation by influencing her husband, a key witness. In her defense, Sunita's lawyer cited her psychological stress due to alleged financial deprivation by her husband, but the court dismissed this claim due to a lack of medical evidence.
