In a horrifying incident that has sent shockwaves through the city of Mathura, an elderly couple fell victim to a vicious attack in the quiet hours of Saturday morning. The attack resulted in the tragic loss of the wife's life, while her husband suffered critical injuries at their residence in the Guru Kripa Colony of Mathura.
The elderly couple, aged 55 and 60, were alone in their home when the assailants struck them on their heads with a hard and blunt object. The incident occurred at approximately 2 am, leaving the victims in a dire state. The authorities were alerted, and the Highway Police Station in Mathura swiftly responded to the distress call. Both victims were immediately transported to the hospital to receive much-needed medical attention.

In a statement to the media, SSP Pandey conveyed the grim news, saying, "The injured woman succumbed to her injuries, while her husband is currently undergoing treatment. The couple was alone in their home last night when the attack took place. We have formed six investigative teams to expedite the resolution of this case, and we are hopeful of apprehending the culprits soon."
The investigation into this heinous crime has been initiated with great urgency. It will be a collaborative effort, involving police personnel from four police stations in Mathura, with active participation from the surveillance team.
