Delhi's Disturbing Discovery: Son Lived with Deceased Mother as Father Fought for Life

In a chilling turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the quiet lanes of South Delhi’s Bindapur, authorities have uncovered a truly disturbing scene. A 30-year-old man reportedly lived for several days in the same dwelling as the decomposing body of his mother, all while his elderly father lay critically ill in a hospital.

The grim discovery was made by concerned neighbours who had noticed a foul odor emanating from the residence and an unusual lack of activity.

After their repeated attempts to contact the family went unanswered, they alerted the local police. Upon forcing entry, officers were met with an unimaginable sight: the lifeless body of 70-year-old Vimla, lying in a state of advanced decomposition, alongside her son, Sumit, who appeared to be in a deeply disoriented state.

Initial investigations suggest that Vimla had passed away naturally several days prior, but for reasons yet to be fully understood, her son had made no attempt to report her death or seek assistance.

Meanwhile, Sumit’s 76-year-old father, Krishan Kumar, had been admitted to a nearby hospital in a critical condition, completely unaware of the tragic events unfolding back home.

Police officials stated that Sumit, who is reportedly unemployed and has shown signs of mental health issues, was found in a state of severe distress and confusion.

He has since been taken for medical evaluation and questioning to ascertain the full sequence of events and his mental state. The deceased mother’s body was sent for post-mortem examination to confirm the cause of death, although preliminary findings point towards natural causes.

This heartbreaking incident has cast a somber shadow over the community, prompting residents to reflect on the importance of checking in on vulnerable neighbours and the pressing need for better mental health support systems.

The family's isolation and the tragic circumstances highlight a deeper societal issue, leaving many to wonder how such a dreadful situation could go unnoticed for so long.

As the investigation continues, the focus remains on understanding Sumit's condition and ensuring he receives the necessary care, while the community grapples with the profound sadness and questions raised by this deeply unsettling discovery.
