Three kin arrested after five family members found dead in Greater Noida

Three people have been arrested for the death of a couple and their three children, whose bodies were found at their home in a village in Greater Noida, police said on Sunday (October 18, 2026).

The accused, including two sisters and a brother-in-law of the deceased man, were arrested based on a complaint registered by a relative, Rabupura SHO Sujeet Upadhyay said.

According to police, the deceased man, Mahesh (37), recorded a voice note on his mobile phone before his death, allegedly holding the three accused – his elder sister Sunita (45), brother-in-law Shekhar alias Chandrashekhar (50) and younger sister Sapna (32) – responsible for the deaths.

Preliminary information gathered from neighbours and relatives suggested that Sunita allegedly influenced their mother, Chandrawati, to transfer in her name the house where Mahesh lived with their mother, police said.
