The victims belonged to Hathras in Western Uttar Pradesh and were living in a rented accommodation at DDA Colony in Khyala C-block for the last two years.
Veeru had four children. Akash and Veeru used to work in a factory, while Sunita was a housewife.
Their eldest daughter Khusbhu is married in Agra, while her younger siblings -- Aman, 14, and Khushi, eight, have been left orphaned.
