NEW DELHI: Three men have been arrested for allegedly killing a 75-year-old woman during a robbery bid at her home in west Delhi’s Janakpuri.
The incident took place on May 31.
The deceased, Savitri, lived with her husband who suffers from cancer and is bedridden.
The couple had recently hired Monu to help with the household chores.
Monu, instead, roped in two of his friends, Naveen and Vishal, to rob the couple.
On the night of May 31, the three accused allegedly entered the house and attacked the woman to question where the cash and jewellery were kept.
When she resisted and tried to raise an alarm, the accused strangled her and fled.
The woman was taken to a hospital by neighbours.
Cops later questioned Monu, who claimed innocence and said that two robbers had targeted the house.
However, he gave conflicting statements and upon sustained interrogation, confessed to the crime and led the police to his associates.
