Overview
- The wife of retired IPS officer Vinay Ranjan Ray was killed at her Jubilee Hills home on Friday in what police describe as a planned robbery for gain.
- Investigators say the family’s live-in maid, identified as Kalpana from Nepal, is missing and suspected of letting in at least three accomplices.
- Forensic and CCTV findings place the attack around 2 a.m., with the victim’s hands and legs tied and a cloth forced into her mouth.
- Police formed multiple special teams and traced the suspects’ trip by auto to a city rail station, then issued alerts to other states and to the SSB on the India–Nepal border.
- Teams are checking train records toward Nagpur as senior officials link the case to a wider pattern of Nepal-based gangs that target homes when families are away.
