Her body was found at her home today, with a slit throat and multiple stab wounds on her stomach, they said.
The woman, Sangeeta Bansal, lived in a flat on the first floor of a house in Lalita Park area of Shakkarpur locality.
Her body was discovered by her sister-in-law who came to check on her this morning, the police said.
Bansal's husband had passed away last year and her two daughters are married and stay in Delhi and Bhopal, respectively.
The police said they have identified the killer and efforts are on to nab him.
They also said that the killing appears to be a case of personal enmity.
Bansal worked as a caretaker at a paying guest accommodation. Since there was no signs of forced entry and the house had not been ransacked, the police suspect that the accused was known to her. She had also bought some snacks from a nearby shop to serve some guests.
