In a double murder at Meerut, a couple was found with their throats slit, inside their house while the man's parents were found unconscious on the ground floor.

The police stated that the couple lived on the first floor of their house in Sector 6 in Shastri Colony while the man's parents live in the ground floor. 

The police said that the incident came to light when their son Aryan (24) called his parents and grandparents at around 8 am Tuesday and failed to get a response. He then contacted a neighbour, Shivam and asked him to check the house.

When Shivam reached the house, he found the main gate open and saw  grandparents unconscious while the couple’s bodies lying on the bed. Shivam raised an alarm and informed Aryan and his sister, who work in Gurgaon.
