Mystery in Agra: Elderly Woman Found Dead, Jewels and Cash Missing

A 65-year-old woman was found dead in her Agra home, with her jewellery and cash stolen. Her husband discovered the scene upon returning from work, finding the house ransacked and their granddaughter locked in a room. Police suspect it to be a murder case and are investigating the incident.

A 65-year-old woman was found dead at her home in Balkeshwar here, police said on Monday. According to her husband, a silver trader, the woman's jewellery and cash kept in a cupboard were also missing, they said. On Sunday, Prem Prakash Gupta (67) returned to his home in New Adarsh Nagar Colony from work around 9 pm. As he got no response from his wife, he opened the gate with another and found his house in a ransacked condition, they said.

Gupta found his wife's body lying in a pool of blood in the kitchen and his deaf and mute granddaughter locked inside a room, police said.

According to police, there were injury marks on the woman's neck.

Agra Deputy Commissioner of Police (City) Suraj Kumar Rai said prima facie it seems to be a case of murder. "Teams have been formed to investigate the murder incident and legal action will be taken accordingly,'' he said.
