Girja Bai, wife of Laxman Soni, was found in a critical condition at her home on Monday evening. Her husband and son had gone to the Helapadawa market, while her daughter-in-law was away in Hoshangabad for the Raksha Bandhan festival.
When they returned home around 8 pm, they found Girja Bai lying near the stairs with injury marks on her body. The back door of the house was open and the cupboard and locker were found open. The family reported that the thieves had stolen Rs 3.50 lakh cash from the house, leaving the jewellery behind. The police suspect that unknown miscreants entered the house with the intention of theft and beating up Girja Bai. The police, along with the FSL team, figure print experts and dog squad, are investigating the case. The team collected evidence from the spot, including samples of blood and fingerprints. The post-mortem was conducted at Khandwa District Hospital.
The incident has sent shockwaves throughout the city, with people feeling unsafe.
