Robbers kill 75-yr-old who used to live alone in Ghaziabad
A 75-year-old woman allegedly died in a scuffle during a robbery in her house in Ghaziabad on Friday. The woman, a widow, was found lying on the floor of a washroom in the ground floor of the house by a maid working in the house of her daughter Barkha at around 8am. The entire house had been ransacked while Kamlesh was found with torn earlobes and nostrils apart from contusions on her right arm. Barkha’s family had sent the maid, Rekha, to check on Kamlesh when she did not visit their house, as was her routine every morning, till 8 am. Rekha found the main door of the house and the grille gate across it bolted from outside. “She found the bathroom door tightly shut from inside when she entered the house after opening the two main doors. The rooms had been ransacked and Rekha found Kamlesh lying on the bathroom floor when she pushed it open. She raised an alarm. We took her to a private hospital where she was declared dead on arrival. Doctors suspected she died of a cardiac arrest,” Barkha’s daughter, Niharika said. Neighbours told police that they had seen Kamlesh cleaning the outside of her house at around 5.30 am. Eyewitnesses have further claimed that they had seen a man bolting the door of the house of Kamlesh from outside in the morning. -PTC News
