A 53-year-old woman was strangled to death by four youths who had entered her home to commit robbery in South-East Delh’s Amar Colony. Police said the woman was found lying dead on the floor while one servant working at the house was tied to a chair. Police suspect, Roshan, the other servant, is the one who facilitated the entry of the robbers, as he is absconding.

The incident took place on Tuesday between 11 am to 12 pm at the second floor of 21 National park apartment in Amar Colony. The robbers looted a gold case and cash and other belongings amounting to an approximate of Rs 10 lakhs, added police.
After the incident, when the husband and son returned home they were shocked to see what happened and immediately called for help. A call to police was made and a PCR came to inspect the crime spot.
