The incident came to light on Tuesday afternoon when Kamla reported to police that on Tuesday morning her relative Jagdish, along with his wife and daughter came to her house and since they had undergone a tiring journey, they came to her residence to take some rest. Apart from being relatives, Jagdish and Kamla hailed from the same village and therefore she allowed them to stay at her house.
Kamla went to her office and her two daughters went to their respective schools. In the afternoon when she returned home, she was surprised to see her main gate locked. Her neighbour helped her to unlock the gate and they were shocked to see the corpses of Taradevi and Kajal lying on the floor.
Cops speak
"The police reached the spot after the PCR call was made and the bodies were sent for postmortem and it was found that they both were strangulated, Taradevi's husband Jagdish has been missing so he might be the main culprit behind the murders," said a senior police official.
Chhaya Sharma, DCP (south), speaking on the incident said, "Kamla is a widow with two daughters and she is currently an employee at Central Public Works Department (CPWD). When this incident took place, no one else from her family was at home. We are trying to nab Jagdish and further investigation is going on."
'External affairs'
A 21-year-old woman was allegedly murdered by her boyfriend, after a year-long relationship, on Tuesday. The incident took place in Neb Sarai area of south Delhi and the victim was identified as Sanjana. Sanjana married Tilak Raj nearly three years ago. She, however, started a relationship with their neighbour Pawan and soon moved in with him. Reportedly, the relationship was unstable and the couple fought a lot. According to the police, Pawan was fed up of constant arguing and decided to put the matters to rest. The body was discovered by the neighbours in the afternoon. "The body has been sent for post-mortem. Apparently, Sanjana was first badly beaten up and strangulated by Pawan, who then hung the body by a ceiling fan to make it look like suicide. We are investigating the matter further," said a senior police official. Two people have been arrested in this regard.
