Ahmedabad: Woman found murdered in flat locked from outside

AHMEDABAD: A resident of Ramol, Mira Ramswarup Sadhu, 45, was found murdered with stab wounds in her stomach and chest in her flat at Sarita Residency in Ramol on Thursday late afternoon. The flat was locked from outside. Ramol police sources said that the deceased had an inter-faith marriage about six years ago. Her husband works in Kapadwanj and stays there most of the time.
K S Dave, inspector of Ramol police station said the body was totally decomposed when found and the murder could have taken place around two days ago. “We don’t rule out the possibility of an insider involved in the murder as the door to the house was locked from outside. We have registered a murder case and a team of crime branch and SOG (special operations group) is also assisting us,” he added.
“On Thursday, one Pankaj Dagar, 23, claims to have come to her house on Thursday afternoon to meet Mira. Dagar claims that Mira was like an elder sister to him and he often used to come to meet her. He found the door of the flat was locked from outside and the foul smell coming from inside made him suspicious. He then informed the police control room,” said Dave. After reaching the flat, police called in her husband from Kapadwanj and got the door of the flat opened. The woman’s body was lying in the front room of the house and the cupboard was open. “The deceased had three stab wounds in her chest and stomach,” Dave added.
