Old woman murdered

Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: An aged woman who lived alone was found murdered, with her throat slit, at her home in Fraser Town police station limits Thursday.

Agnes, 80, had been a domestic help at Tushar Shah's house on Charles Campbell Road in Cox Town for nearly four decades. After Shah died a year ago, Agnes, a spinster, continued to live at the house. Shah's sister Ritu Shah, who lives in Ejipura, was taking care of Agnes's needs, calling her every evening, police said.

When she called as usual around 8 p.m. on Thursday, there was no response. So, she asked a neighbour to check on Agnes. The neighbour found her dead in a pool of blood. Nothing is missing from the house and the motive for the murder is yet to be ascertained, Assistant Commissioner of Police (Fraser Town sub-division) K.V. Puttathimme Gowda told The Hindu on Friday. The Fraser Town police registered a case.

Two robbed

Two men who came in an autorickshaw attacked the employee of a private company and robbed him of a gold chain, a mobile phone and cash in Jnana Bharathi police station limits Thursday.

The police said Krishna got down from his company cab on the Ring Road around 9 p.m. and was heading home in Jnana Jyothinagar when two men in an autorickshaw waylaid him and robbed him of Rs. 60 and some valuables after attacking him with a knife. The Jnana Bharathi police have registered a case.

Naveed Tabsum, a resident of Palace Guttahalli, has lodged a complaint with the Yelahanka police that a real estate agent assaulted her and robbed her of gold ornaments worth Rs. 75,000 on Thursday.

According to the complaint that around 11.30 p.m. Ashwathnarayna robbed Tabsum of two bangles, two rings and a chain when she had been to Amruthnagar on Bellary Road. She had been there reportedly in connection with a civil dispute. The Yelahanka police have registered a case.

Shop burgled
