Dr Manju Sharma, 77, a renowned doctor and a social activist, was found murdered at her house in Hoshiarpur late tonight.

The victim was reportedly strangled at her nursing home-come-residence at Mall Road, near the SSP’s residence. The incident came to light after her son, who is also a doctor and works in Karnal, Haryana, could not talk to her despite repeated calls. Sensing trouble, he called up his mother’s neighbours asking them to check if she was fine.

Station House Officer Kamaljeet Singh along with a police team reached the spot around midnight. Singh said robbery didn’t seem to be the reason for the crime as the house was in order and nothing was found to be missing. “Jewellery and cash in the house was not stolen,” he said. The body has been sent to the Civil Hospital for a post-mortem to be conducted tomorrow. — OC
