RAJKOT: Aged parents of a woman working as a head constable in Junagadh were allegedly murdered in a village of Vanthli taluka of the district early on Tuesday morning.
The couple Raja Jiladiya (72) and his wife Jalu (68) were found dead in their farm in Sendarda village. Their daughter Kunwarben works as a head constable in Junagadh city’s Mahila police station.
The milkman, who went to their farm, saw the couple dead and immediately informed their son who lives in the same village. Police said Jiladiya and his wife were sleeping in the farm. While the woman was smothered to death with a pillow, her husband was strangled using the pillow’s cloth.
Police said the intention was robbery and nearly 21 tolas gold and some cash was stolen from the house which was found completely vandalized.
The couple had four children but they were living alone. One son lives separately in the same village while another is settled in Surat. While one daughter is a cop, another one is married.
Deputy superintendent of police, Junagadh, Pradipsinh Jadeja said, “The couple was in deep sleep when murdered. We are estimating the value of gold and cash that was stolen.”
