NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police are questioning a tantric practitioner and one of his associates from Northeast Delhi in connection with the discovery of three bodies in a car in Peeragarhi, officials said on Tuesday.

The deceased, identified as Randhir, Shivnaresh, and Laxmi, had met in Peeragarhi area at 10.30 am on Sunday before leaving via the Ring Road to Northeast Delhi, where they met the tantric practitioner. Police said the three were known to each other for a long time. Randhir and Shivnaresh were engaged in the property business, while Laxmi worked in home care services.

According to the police, the three were in constant contact. Laxmi has been married twice; one of her husbands lives in Bihar, and the other lived with her in Delhi. After examining the profiles of the three, the police have found nothing suspicious.

Furthermore, police recovered three liquor bottles and three used disposable glasses near the bodies. Vomit was found in the mouths of Shivnaresh and Laxmi. There were no external injuries on the bodies. Postmortems on Randhir and Shivnaresh have been conducted, while Laxmi’s postmortem is pending.

The viscera of both have been preserved as they will be used to examine the chemicals in their bodies. Lakshmi’s viscera will also be preserved. A visra (viscera) report is a forensic, medico-legal document detailing the chemical analysis of a deceased person’s internal organs, typically the stomach, liver, and kidneys, to determine the cause of death, particularly in suspected poisoning or unexplained cases.

Meanwhile, authorities are reviewing CCTV footage along the routes taken by the deceased and continue to question the tantric practitioner and his associate to piece together the sequence of events leading to the incident.
