The local police there informed Bharat Rudrawar of the tragedy on Thursday.
There is no clarity yet on the cause of the death, he said, adding that the US police said they will share findings of the autopsy report.
“My daughter-in-law was seven months pregnant,” he said.
“We had been to their house and were planning a trip to the US again,” he said.
“I am not aware of any possible motive. They were a happy family and had lovely neighbours,” he said when asked if he suspected foul play.
“I was informed by the US authorities that it will take at least 8 to 10 days for the bodies to reach India after necessary formalities,” he said.
“My granddaughter is now with a friend of my son. He had several friends in the local Indian community,” he said.
Balaji Rudrawar, an IT professional from Ambajogai in Maharashtra’s Beed district had moved with his wife to the US in August 2015 after they got married in December 2014, said his father, a businessman from the temple town, around 500 km from Mumbai.
