Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: A 40-year-old woman was found murdered under mysterious circumstances in her house at Saket here on Wednesday. The police have launched a hunt for her domestic help who is missing. Archana Grover's children Rishav and Jahanvi heard her quarrelling with a woman in another room in the afternoon. After some time when they went inside, they found Archana lying motionless on the floor. The domestic help, Rakhi Shah, was missing from the house. The children raised an alarm, following which neighbours informed the police.

The police said there were ligature marks around Archana's neck suggesting that she had been strangled. The police suspect Rakhi's involvement in the murder as she is missing with her belongings.

Archana's husband Pankaj Rakesh is a documentary filmmaker and has been away from home for the past five days.
