According to a police officer, privy to the investigation, the deceased woman has been identified as Geetanajli while the daughter has been identified as Ananya.

The incident came to light at around 6:15 pm when Geetanjali’s husband, Mithilesh, who works in the railways, returned and found that the main door of the house was locked from inside.

He rang the door bell but Geetanjali did not answer. When Mithilesh called her repeatedly, the calls too went unanswered.

To which, he made a PCR call. Mithilesh also informed the landlord.

A team of local police reached the spot and broke open the door and found the mother daughter lying in a pool of blood.
