According to the police, the deceased has been identified as Madhu, a resident of Khidki Extension in Malviya Nagar. The incident took place around 6 PM.
"We received a PCR call from the neighbours of the deceased saying there was some commotion in the house. When we reached the spot, the woman was found lying in a pool of blood. She was rushed to AIIMS Hospital where she was declared brought dead," said a police official.
It seems that her head was hit with a hammer and she succumbed to the head injuries caused by it, he said.
"Personal enmity could be the motive behind the murder. We are suspecting that family members could also be involved. A case of murder has been registered and investigations are on," police said.
