NEW DELHI: An 88-year-old woman was murdered at her home in northeast Delhi's Karawal Nagar, police officers aware of the case said on Monday, adding that the assailants allegedly made away with cash and valuables worth lakhs of rupees.
Shanti Devi lived alone in a single-storey, eight-bedroom house after her husband Om Prakash Sharma died in January 2018. Her family members have alleged that her body was found bound and gagged on a bed.
The murder came to light on Sunday morning when Vansh Gupta, a neighbour, found one of the doors to Devi's house ajar. He knocked multiple times but Devi did not respond, following which he called his grandfather, who advised him to contact the police.
