Deaths of two elderly women in Rajendra Nagar under probe; postmortem conducted

New Delhi: The postmortem examinations of the two elderly women—both in their 80s — who were found dead at their residence in central Delhi’s Rajendra Nagar were conducted on Friday.

Police sources said it is suspected that Saroj Bala may have died after a fall. Chandra Kanta, meanwhile, had a pacemaker implanted and was largely dependent on Bala for care and assistance.

“We are also examining whether there was any issue related to the pacemaker and if it may have contributed in any manner. However, we are still awaiting the final postmortem report, and the exact cause of death will only be confirmed after the detailed medical opinion is received,” a police officer said, adding that the bodies had been handed over to the relatives after the procedure.

At 10.30 am on Thursday, a domestic worker alerted police about a foul smell emanating from the house. When police team entered the house they found the two bodies in a room.
