Jaipur shocker: 23-year-old woman kills mother for govt job, property, stages murder as road accident
Deputy Commissioner of Police Ranjita Sharma said the victim, 45-year-old Neeraj Sharma, a resident of Ravindra Nagar in Pratap Nagar, died on July 3 after being hit by a speeding Scorpio SUV.
PTC News Desk: A 23-year-old woman allegedly planned her mother's murder with the help of her relatives to gain control of family property and get a government job under the compassionate appointment scheme, police said on Tuesday.
The accused, identified as Ayushi, along with six others, including her uncle and cousin, has been arrested in the case. Another accused is still absconding.
According to police, the accused initially tried to make the murder look like a road accident.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Ranjita Sharma said the victim, 45-year-old Neeraj Sharma, a resident of Ravindra Nagar in Pratap Nagar, died on July 3 after being hit by a speeding Scorpio SUV.
However, the victim's brother, Rakesh, suspected foul play and filed a police complaint, naming his niece and several others in the FIR.
Police said Neeraj had secured a clerical job (LDC) in court on compassionate grounds following the death of her husband, Vijay Kumar Sharma, about a year ago.
The accused daughter allegedly wanted the job for herself.
"In her statement, the accused said she had asked her mother to let her take the job after her father's death, but her mother took the position instead. This led to stress," the officer said.
