A 60-year-old man was smothered to death inside his own home in Delhi's Rohini, in a murder plot allegedly hatched by his wife's niece over gold worth Rs 80 lakh. Despite tearing the house apart, the killers walked away with barely Rs 1.5 lakh, TOI reported.
Police identified the alleged mastermind as 23-year-old Simran Taneja, who they say roped in her boyfriend, a gym owner, along with two accomplices to rob and kill Rakesh Khanna. Khanna had recently sold a flat for Rs 80 lakh and converted the proceeds into gold, which he kept hidden at home, according to TOI's report.
