Gruesome Details of the Nighttime Attack
According to police officials, the tragedy unfolded late at night when the victims, Saroj Devi (35) and her eight-year-old daughter Vanshika, had gone to the rooftop to sleep. Around 12:30 AM, Surjeet Singh allegedly ascended to the terrace armed with a sword. In a brutal assault, he struck his wife Saroj on the throat with the weapon, fatally wounding her.
