The Haryana police on Friday claimed to have solved the case of the mysterious disappearance of a woman Suman,30,and her two minor children Raveena,10,and Saurav,8,who went missing from their home in Sirsa district of Haryana on November 30. The woman’s husband,Vinod,was arrested for triple murder. 

Vinod,who is a school bus driver,was nabbed on Thursday on charges of intoxicating Suman,Raveena and Saurav and then throwing them in a canal with an intention to kill them. He allegedly committed the gory crime,because of an illicit relationship with another woman for which he wanted to get rid of his wife and children. While the police recovered Saurav’s body,the bodies of Suman and Raveena are yet to be recovered. 

The incident pertains to village Nathor in Rania area of Sirsa district. Vinod lodged a complaint with the police saying his wife and children had gone out on November 30 and had not returned.
