65-year-old CA found dead

NEW DELHI: A 65-year-old chartered accountant was found dead and his wife seriously injured under mysterious circumstances in their house at Srestha Vihar in the trans-Yamuna area. The police suspect it to be a case of robbery by the elderly couple’s newly-hired domestic help as the house was found ransacked and one of their cars was also missing. The suspect is at large.

The incident came to light in the morning when Swati, a Gurgaon-based daughter of chartered accountant Yashpal Soli, called up one of his neighbours asking him to check on her father as he had not been answering the phone. The neighbour went to the house and found Mr. Soli’s 60-year-old wife Sudha lying in an injured state on the ground floor.

Subsequently the police were informed around 10 a.m. “The body of Mr. Soli was found in his office on the first floor. There were no external injuries on his body. Ms. Soli was hit on the head,” said a police officer. He said the house was ransacked suggesting that it was a case of robbery. The police later found that one of the cars, a steel grey Fiat Palio, was missing.

Enquiries by the police revealed that the couple had hired a domestic help, Surjeet, about five days ago after their maid took a break from the job
