A woman, her neighbor, and a juvenile have been arrested by Delhi Police for conspiring to murder the woman’s 65-year-old mother with the intention of selling their house and moving to better accommodation. The accused were identified as Chintamani, Ashok Sharma, and the minor.
Chintamani and Sharma, residents of Nehru Vihar in north Delhi, hatched the plan to murder Chintamani’s mother, Shivkala, who was running a general store. On September 27, police received a call reporting the murder of Shivkala, who was killed in her store and bedroom inside their two-story house.
