Lawyers mother, daughter killed in Delhi

      New Delhi: A mother and her daughter were found dead in their posh south Delhi residencel today. Deceased Swarna Mahajan and her 45-year-old daughter Anuradha Mahajan were both lawyers of the Delhi High Court and resided in Sidharth Enclave. According to the preliminary investigations carried by the police, it is reported to be a murder case where the assailants were known to the victims. Since the house was found ransacked, it gave an impression that the murderers were looking for something. Anil Shukla, Additional District Commissioner of Police said: "The room has been ransacked, so it might be that the culprit was searching for something. Even a cupboard has been turned inside out. So we're not ruling out anything right now". The housemaid was first to see the victims dead, with their hands clapped, in the morning when she came to start her day's work. Finding the doors closed and with no response coming from inside, housemaid took the help of the neighbours to open it. According to her, everything was fine till 10 p.m. on Saturday when she had left the place. She also told the police that in evening two people had visited the family and that the car carried a Uttar Pradesh number. Police are now looking for that car and a murder case has been registered.
