Elderly couple found dead in Kota

Kota: Bodies of an elderly couple, bearing injury marks inflicted by a sharp weapon, were found at their house in Kalilashpuri Colony this morning, police said.

Seventy-year-old Bajrang Singh Naruka, a former railway employee, and his wife Sadhana Singh (65) were killed with a sharp weapon last night by unidentified persons, SHO at the Railway Police Station Shivraj Singh said.

A case of murder has been registered by the police against unidentified persons, he said.

The bodies have been handed over to the family members after post-mortem, he said.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Bhagwan Singh Godara visited the spot, Singh said.
