Robbers tie woman, tape her mouth and flee with valuables; she suffocates to death

A broad daylight robbery and murder in Gurugram's Sohna has left the entire area shaken. A woman, Neetu, was alone inside the house at the time of the robbery and was allegedly taken captive, both her hands tied and tape tightly wrapped around her face and mouth, suffocating her to death.

Following the murder, the assailants ransacked trunks and cupboards, looted valuables and fled the scene.

The crime came to light around 2 pm on, when Neetu’s husband, Prashant, a teacher at a private school, returned home with their children after picking them up from school.

Seeing belongings scattered around the room, he feared something was wrong and rushed inside. He was horrified to find Neetu’s body, with her hands tied, in the bathroom. The woman was rushed to a private hospital in Sohna, where doctors declared her dead. The incident plunged the village into mourning and sparked widespread anger.

Soon after receiving information about the incident, a team led by Sohna Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Mukesh Yadav reached the spot along with a forensic science laboratory (FSL) team. The forensic team collected crucial evidence from the scene. Police officials said a case was being registered against unidentified assailants based on statements from the victim’s family. CCTV footage from across the area is being examined to track down the killers and solve the murder as soon as possible.
