30-year-old woman found murdered in Gopalganj

PATNA: A 30-year-old woman, Geeta Devi, was found murdered in her bedroom at Paithan Patti village under the Manjhagarh police station area in Gopalganj district in the wee hours of Tuesday.
Though villagers said the criminals stabbed the woman to death while committing robbery, police have not ruled out the possibility of insider’s role in the murder.
SHO of Manjhagarh police station Deepak Kumar said there was a noose around her neck and blood stains were also found.“Prima facie, no injury mark was found in the woman’s body to suggest that she was stabbed,” he added.
Kumar said Geeta’s father has suspected involvement of his daughter’s mother-in-law, Saraswati Devi (55), in the murder.
“Saraswati has been detained for interrogation. She is not giving any clear reply. Geeta’s husband Raju Singh was not present at the village at the time of the incident. He, however, returned home a couple of hours after the incident,” the SHO said, adding Gita had married Raju, a bus driver, in March 2015 and the couple has two minor children.
