Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, SP Ajay Gandhi said that on the intervening night of December 10 and 11, four unknown persons attacked Madhu Rani and her son Vikas Goyal in Kheta Singh Basti and Madhu was killed while her son is still fighting for his life.

The incident was carried out with the intention of robbery and of the four persons, two were brothers of the deceased.

The SP said Monu Yadav and his brother Tonu Yadav, Sevak Singh and Harman Singh of Sivian village committed the murder. Gandhi said the culprits suspected that the victims’ house might have a cash lying around and they hatched a plan to rob them.
