New Delhi: A 38-year-old woman and her 13-year-old son were allegedly stabbed to death inside their residence in the Govindpuri area of southeast Delhi during what police suspect was a robbery. The incident took place in the early hours of Thursday, triggering a major investigation in the area.
The victims have been identified as Sharda Sahu, a homemaker, and her son, a Class 7 student. Police said the woman’s husband, Vishnu Sahu, who works as a vendor in weekly fruit and vegetable markets, discovered the bodies after returning home late at night.
According to officials, a PCR call was received at Govindpuri police station around 1:11 am from Gali No. 10 in Kalkaji. Police teams, along with senior officers, immediately reached the spot and secured the area.
