Ranchi: A suspected natural death in the Manitola locality of Doranda has evolved into a murder investigation following the exhumation of a woman’s body. On Tuesday, Ranchi police arrested three individuals, including the victim’s daughter, in connection with the case.
Suspicion Leads to Exhumation
The woman had already been laid to rest after her family initially reported her death as natural. However, after receiving specific inputs and observing suspicious circumstances, the police moved to reopen the case. In the presence of an Executive Magistrate, authorities exhumed the remains from the Doranda cemetery.
The remains are currently at the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) for a detailed post-mortem. Officials state that the autopsy will be the primary evidence required to establish the exact manner of death.
Daughter Identified as Key Suspect
The investigation took a significant turn when evidence pointed toward a premeditated conspiracy involving the victim’s daughter. Investigators believe she acted in collusion with two accomplices to carry out the crime.
- Current Status: Police are interrogating all three suspects separately to map out the sequence of events.
- Probable Motives: Authorities are examining family discord and potential property disputes as the primary drivers behind the alleged killing.
Local Reaction
The revelation has caused widespread disbelief in the Manitola neighborhood, where the victim used to stay. Police officials emphasized that they are meticulously gathering forensic evidence to build a case against the accused as the probe enters its next phase.
