A 34-year-old woman was found murdered in the bathroom of her home in Daulah village in Gurugram's Sohna on Friday, with her hands tied and tape covering her mouth and face.
Police are probing a possible theft angle and examining CCTV footage from the surrounding area, though the motive and identity of the suspects remain unknown, Times of India reported.
The woman, identified as Neetu, was found by her husband, Prashant, a teacher at a private school, when he returned home with their children from school around 2 pm. He found household belongings scattered across the house and searched the premises, where he found Neetu lying in the bathroom.
