A 78-year old man was allegedly found murdered at his residence in West Delhi's Rajouri Garden area on Tuesday night. The house was found ransacked and the entry to the house seemed friendly.

The deceased Jugal Kishore resided on the second floor along with his wife Shashi. His wife had gone to the local market to get vegetables when the incident occurred. "The police received a call around 7:30 pm regarding the murder. Kishore was lying in a pool of blood with his throat slit. He retired as an engineer with the Central Public Works Department (CPWD) and was last posted in Chandigarh," said a police officer.
