New Delhi: A 59-year-old woman was killed and valuables from her west Delhi house looted in a broad daylight Sunday, police said.
Sumitra Gulati was at her house with only her five-year-old grandson Pranav when a robber impersonating as a cable TV operator came in. The woman was stabbed to death, and Rs.50,000 in cash and some jewellery were taken away.
“The neighbours told us that Pranav said a man had come to repair the cable TV. The boy went to the first floor and when he came down he saw his grandmother lying in room in a pool of her blood,” a police officer added.
“The woman had multiple stab wounds on the neck. She was rushed to a nearby hospital where she was declared brought dead. Initial estimates by the family members reveal that Rs.50,000 and jewellery of unverified amount is missing,” the officer said.
Her husband O.P Gulati and son Rohit were at their footwear shop in Moti Nagar area while her daughter-in-law had gone to Hisar in Haryana for some examination, police said.
