A devastating incident has come to light in Indira Colony located on Majitha Road in Amritsar where an elderly woman, identified as Veena Rani, has been brutally murdered with the help of a sharp weapon by some unknown assailants. As per information, the woman was aged between 65 to 70 years. The deceased woman’s daughter, Simi says that she lived in the house with her mother along with two young men who had been living in the house as tenants for approximately the past two years.
The family shares that both the youths were fluent in Punjabi and their behavior was never suspicious and always normal and calm. As per reports, one of the tenants was discussing with his wife about leaving the village while the other tenant has mentioned getting an Australian visa and throwing a party. It is alleged that on the pretext of party alcohol mixed with drugs was used. Later, around 1 AM, the elderly woman was attacked with a sharp weapon and murdered. Both the accused youths fled the scene after committing the crime.
The incident came to light when other tenants living upstairs informed about it in the morning. Learning about the incident the family went to inspect and opened the door and found the elderly woman murdered with blood spilt everywhere and the household goods scattered around. Allegedly, a large quantity of gold was also present in the house due to which a possibility is raised that this murder might have taken place with an intent of robbery.
