Two Elderly Women Found Dead in Delhi Home

Postmortems at RML Hospital will determine the cause of death.

Overview

  • The bodies of Saroj Bala and Chandra Kanta, both about 80, were discovered inside their single‑storey New Rajinder/Rajendra Nagar house after a domestic help alerted neighbours on Thursday, May 28.
  • Police and a crime team entered the locked home and found one woman on a bed and the other on the floor, with a strong foul smell at the scene.
  • Forensic teams reported no visible external injuries, no signs of forced entry, ransacking, or struggle during the preliminary inspection.
  • Investigators noted tea cups left at the scene and say the maid last served them two days earlier, so officials are probing medical, accidental, and other possibilities while awaiting autopsy results.
  • Both bodies were sent to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital for postmortem and formal proceedings under Section 194 of the BNSS, and police have called relatives and are recording local statements.
