Bhopal Brutality: Elderly Woman Murdered for Teeth
7 Nov
Summary
- Elderly woman brutally murdered during a robbery in Bhopal.
- Attackers forcibly removed jewelry and artificial teeth.
- Protesters blocked a major road with the victim's body.
Residents of Bhopal took to the streets in protest following the brutal murder and robbery of 75-year-old Kalri Devi in Shahjehanabad. The demonstration involved blocking a major road with the victim's body, disrupting traffic for nearly an hour. This action was a demand for the immediate arrest and stringent punishment of the culprits.
Investigators are reviewing CCTV footage, which captured a woman entering Kalri Devi's flat for about an hour before the crime, and a suspicious hawker in the vicinity. The victim, who lived alone at the time, was assaulted, and her jewelry, including gold-plated artificial teeth, was forcibly taken. A special investigation team has been formed, and a reward is offered for information.
The family had initially refused to claim the body after the post-mortem on Friday, collecting it on Saturday to lead the protest. They reported that the attackers inflicted extreme brutality, even pulling out the victim's artificial teeth. The incident has highlighted concerns over police response times and the need for swift apprehension of those responsible.
