Hotel security personnel who responded to Imran’s screams barged into the room where they found him bleeding. The girls had died by then, police said.
The man was rushed to a hospital, where he was stated to be out of danger.
Police found a note, purportedly written by Imran, in the room. The note mentioned marital disputes and allegations of his wife’s infidelity. Investigators were now verifying the veracity of the allegations.
