My uncle Brij Mohan had died in 2011 and in 2014; aunt Saroj had got a job in railway canteen here. On Tuesday, my father called to inform me that my aunt was murdered. Following I reached the Railway Colony along with my husband and saw several people were gathered there. Her household belongings were scattered and I and my husband went inside the quarter and saw that my aunt’s dead body was lying naked in front of the refrigerator. It appeared that someone murdered her with a motive of loot.”
