This happened in the Paldi village, where three days ago, a partially burnt body of a woman was found inside a house. Initially, the family had believed it to be an unfortunate accident and buried the body of the woman.

However, on the third day after burial, her daughter became suspicious of the fact that all gold earrings and her mother's mobile phone were missing. Besides this, bloodstains were seen near the cot. Worried, the daughter tried to call her mother's number, but the line rang and got disconnected every time. The daughter grew suspicious and took this matter to the police station.
