In a shocking incident, when one of the employees at an ENT hospital near Bhulabhai Park in Maninagar opened a cabinet concealing pipes and valves, he found the body of a woman stuffed inside. After CCTV footage check revealed she had not come to the hospital alone, police found her mother’s body hidden under a bed. The Kagdapith police identified the deceased as Bharti Vala, 30, and her mother, Champa. Cops suspect the two were first drugged and then strangled to death.
The police have detained Mansukh, a compounder at the hospital. He is related to Bharti’s in-laws, said police.
“Due to domestic disputes at her in-laws’, Bharti returned to her parents’ house in Narol and had been living there since,” said police. It is believed that the murder probably took place between 9.30 am and 10.30 am as the CCTV system was shut down during the period.
The police said, “Champa’s leg had been aching so the mother and daughter left home to go to LG Hospital for a checkup. However, they then decided to visit the ENT hospital to get her ears checked.”
Going by the primary information they collected, the cops suspect the accused was aware the doctor would not be present at the hospital after 9.30 am and called the duo during that time. The cops believe the accused killed Bharti first and when Champa tried to intervene, she too was injected with the same drug and murdered.
The bodies have been sent for postmortem.
