Jagran correspondent, Amritsar. A heart-wrenching incident came to light late on Wednesday night in Indira Colony located on Majitha Road in Amritsar, Punjab. 62 year old widow Veena was brutally murdered in her own house by slitting her throat. She was retired from the Electricity Board and was living with her son near her daughter's house.
Two youths living on rent in the same house have been accused of murder, who absconded after the incident. After the incident, there is an atmosphere of panic and anger in the entire area. According to the information, Veena lived in Indira Colony with her son Ballu. Due to financial constraints, she had given a room on rent to two youths.
People nearby say that these youths were seen involved in suspicious activities from the beginning. Many times the residents of the locality had warned Veena that these people did not look good, but the woman ignored them considering them to be tenants.
