A 74-year-old woman was today found "strangled" to death in outer Delhi's Rohini sector 13 area, which police suspect was fallout of a robbery attempt.
The incident took place at around 5.30 pm in the absence of the lady's husband and son, with whom she used to stay. The deceased has been identified as Kailashwati Jain.
"She was alone at home on the seventh storey of the Vallabh Apartments. The husband found her lying in a pool of blood when he returned around 6 PM. She was declared brought dead on being rushed to a nearby hospital," a police officer said.
Police said that she had injuries on her head and other parts of the body and a shawl was found wrapped around her neck. "Prima facie it looks like a robbery attempt as the entire house was ransacked."
Police, yet to make any arrests in the case, have procured the CCTV footage of the apartment.
