The woman was taken to hospital around 6 pm on Monday and died a few hours later. She is survived by a daughter and a son, who is also a minor. The post-mortem would be done on Wednesday, police said.
The woman’s daughter told mediapersons on Tuesday, “The main accused came to our house on Monday although there were no tiffin boxes to be delivered. He sent me away. When I came back, the door was locked. The accused opened it only after I sought help from someone who lives nearby. There was blood on his shirt. I ran towards my mother and saw she was unclothed. I feared that she was raped. She had eye injuries. Her legs had cuts and there were marks on her neck. I think she was raped.”
Kanpur DCP (Central) Pramod Kumar said, “The family submitted a murder complaint and we are lodging the case. We have arrested one person, who was known to the woman.”
He added, “I can’t say much. But she did have a head injury ”
