A 58-year-old woman was brutally murdered at her residence in West Delhi’s Punjabi Bagh area on Monday morning. The unidentified assailants have stabbed her 30 times after barging into her home when she was there with her five-year-old grandson.
The incident took place between 11 to 11:30 am here when the victim, identified as Sulochna Bansal (62) and her five-year-old grandson were at home while her husband, who is a businessman, was out for work while her daughter-in-law had gone to a hospital for check-up.
In the initial investigation it seems to be a case of personal enmity. Cops are not ruling out the robbery angle as the house was found ransacked and valuables were missing. “When Bansal’s daughter-in-law returned home, she found the front door of the house bolted from inside. When nobody opened it after repeated attempts, she called a neighbour and reached the rear end of the house only to find the back door open where the victim was found lying in a pool of blood with multiple stab wounds,” said a senior police official. The five-year-old grandson was found locked in a first floor room while the house was ransacked.
