Five family members, including three children, found dead in Greater Noida home
Five people - a couple and their three children - were discovered dead in their Nagla Shri Padam house in Greater Noida, with police suspecting food poisoning.
In the early hours of Saturday, police were alerted to a grim scene at a home in Nagla Shri Padam village, part of Greater Noida’s Rabupura sector. The deceased have been identified as Mahesh, 37, his wife Lalita, 35, and their children Laddu, 11, Mishti, 7, and Sakshat, 3. Neighbouring residents reported that the family consumed noodles the night before and showed signs of frothing at the mouth.
Investigators from the local police, a senior officer team, an ambulance unit, and the food safety department arrived promptly, while a forensic team began gathering evidence. Preliminary observations point toward possible food poisoning, but officials stress that the definitive cause will be determined after post-mortem examinations and further scientific analysis. The bodies will be released for autopsy once required legal procedures are finished, and police have pledged appropriate legal action based on the findings.
