A woman, identified as Raj Rani (60), was found murdered at her house in Rohi Colony at Sawan Singh Nagar, Beas, here on Sunday.
The incident came to light when a resident of the area found blood coming out of the entrance gate of the house. The man immediately alerted the police. On reaching the spot, the police got the gates, locked from outside, opened.
Sub-Inspector Sardool Singh, investigating officer, said the victim was alone at home as her husband Ramesh Kumar, who retired from the canal and irrigation department, had gone to his ancestral village at Nangal. He said the victim’s hands and legs were tied to the cot while she was apparently strangled with some wire. She also had injury marks on her head as she was hit with some blunt weapon.
“The police received information about the murder from Baljit Singh who had come to the area for some work. The house was locked from outside while the rooms were also bolted,” he said. He said they broke open on the locks and found the woman murdered.
Investigation was on to ascertain the cause behind the gruesome murder. Her husband Ramesh Kumar told the police that there was nothing valuable in the house that a thief would steal. Besides, there was no sign of any theft or loot, he said.
The police were also scanning the CCTV cameras in the area to find clues about the perpetrators.
