Hindustan Times|June 02, 2023

East Delhi murders: Bodies lay for days; police identify two suspects

Officers involved in the investigation, relying on CCTV footage, said the two women were killed between 10pm and 11pm on May 25 and that the suspects stayed in the house for roughly half an hour. Police, however, did not divulge any details about the two suspects, arguing that it would interfere with the investigation.

The two women were found murdered, with their throats slit, in their flat on Wednesday evening. The victims' bod remained in the first floor three-bedroom flat for a week, going unnoticed till neighbours were thrown off by a foul smell on Wednesday. Police said the two women had little interaction with others in the four-storey building. Police identified the victims as Rajrani Karar (64) and her daughter Ginni Karar (39). Rajrani retired as an artiste with All India Radio. Her husband died in 2011, said police.

Investigators said the woman was "involved in some property disputes," but added that other motives, including robbery, have still to be ruled out.

Rohit Meena, deputy commissioner of police (Shahdara), said, "We are questioning several people, including the two daughters."
