A 75-year-old woman was reportedly found murdered in her house at Rajapalayam village near Alangayam town in Tirupattur, Tamil Nadu, on Wednesday (October 2, 2024).
The deceased has been identified as V. Chandra Bai, an agricultural labourer. Since the passing of her husband K. Vishwanath Rao in 2014, Chandra Bai had been living alone in the house.
She is survived by two children: her daughter, Lakshmi Bai, 45, is married and settled in Bengaluru, and her son V. Ramesh, 48, a farmer, lives a few streets away from her in the same village.
Every day, Chandra Bai would go to her son’s farmland to oversee the work in the paddy field and return home in the evening.
When his mother did not make the visit on Wednesday, Mr. Ramesh went to her house to check on her and found her lying in a pool of blood with head injuries.
Locals alerted the Alangayam police, and a team led by Shreya Gupta, Superintendent of Police, Tirupattur, visited the crime scene.
The initial inquiry revealed that gold jewellery and some cash were missing from the house of the elderly woman.

Highlighting the tasks undertaken by Archaeology Department, Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu said the focus was mainly on reconstructing human past through scientific methods, establishing site museums, and collaborating with domestic and international laboratories for scientific interpretation of cultural materials.
