An explosion in a house in Haryana's Bahadurgarh is under investigation after killing four family members. Authorities suspect it to be a case of familicide with the injured Hiripal Singh as the potential perpetrator, officials reported on Sunday.

According to a police officer, the victims of the tragic explosion include Singh's wife, daughter, and two sons. Initial findings imply that Singh may have murdered his family and subsequently set their home ablaze. The exact motive behind these alleged acts is still being scrutinized, the officer added.

Firefighters extinguished the blaze on Saturday, recovering four bodies from the scene.
