Whe she entered the house she found their bodies lying on the bed in a pool of blood. She immediately made a call to the police control room and a team reached the crime scene. ‘There were stab wounds on their bodies which establishes the fact that they were attacked with a blunt object.

The victims have been identified as Usha Mishra (62) and Jitender (40). Usha, a widow, was living with her son Jitender.

Jitender’s family members have blamed his wife’s relatives for the murder. ‘Preliminarily
investigation suggests that someone known to the deceased family is behind the murder as there were no traces of a forced entry into the house,’ the investigating officer said.

‘We are investigating the case from all possible angles including a property dispute. Usha owns three houses in Rohini, so that can also be the reason behind the murder,’ the officer said.
