Bodies of missing woman, two daughters found buried in shop

A fortnight after a woman and her two daughters went missing, police today found their bodies buried in an abandoned shop at Ekbalpore in the south-west part the city.
Four persons suspected to have committed the cold-blooded murders were arrested, police said.
Sikandar along with his three accomplices allegedly killed the victims, they said.
The victims had been missing since March 29.
Pushpa Singh, a widow who ran a small shop in the area, had sometime ago purchased a flat from Sikandar. He with the help of his three accomplices killed the woman and her two daughters-- Pradipti and Aradhana.

The police suspect that on March 29, when Pushpa went out, Sikandar and the other men entered the flat posing as electricians and killed the two girls. Later, when Pushpa returned, the suspects opened the door and strangulated her.

They then buried the bodies four feet under the floor of an abandoned shop.
During interrogation, Sikandar and his accomplices admitted to the crime.
The police suspect that the crime was committed because of greed for property and valuables.
The bodies have been sent for post-mortem.
