She waited decades to become a mother, wanted to send him abroad: Delhi woman and adopted son found murdered at home days after Manali trip

A 40-year-old woman and her teenage son were stabbed to death in Southeast Delhi’s Govindpuri on Wednesday night, police said. The two were reportedly stabbed with a sharp-edged weapon and their bodies were found in a pool of blood. The deceased woman has been identified as Sharda, who had 11 stab wounds, and the boy was Kushal.

Sharda’s sister-in-law Manju (39), who is said to be the biological mother of Kushal, claimed Sharda and Vishnu adopted the boy when he was 11-day-old. “They did not have a child even after decades of their marriage. I had two sons. I let them adopt Kushal,” said Manju.
