Hyderabad: The Hyderabad police have formed special teams to nab the suspects involved in the murder of Tanaja Ranjan, the wife of a former IPS officer, Vinay Ranjan Ray.
Tanaja, was reportedly smothered to death by her housemaid Kalpana, who is from Nepal and a few other persons in a room on the first floor of the house before the gang decamped with valuables from the house and escaped on Friday early hours.
The former IPS officer resides with his family at their residence at Prashasan Nagar, Jubilee Hills. The maid, Kalpana, was working in the house for the last eight months. At the time of incident, Vinay Ranjan Ray, was in Bengaluru on some personal work. The other family members were on the upper floor of the building and did not know what was happening on the first floor.
On coming to know about the incident, Telangana DGP, CV Anand and Hyderabad Commissioner of Police, VC Sajjanar, reached the spot and inspected the spot.
“It is suspected the offence occurred in the early hours of the day. We have collected some clues and special teams are working on the case. I request the citizens to be alert,” said Hyderabad CP Sajjanar.
The police suspect that Kalpana, was planning the operation for a long time and on getting an opportunity on Friday alerted her gang members who came into the house and killed the lady.
Forensic science experts have reached the spot to assist the investigators. The police believe the gang might attempt to leave the city and head to some other city before heading to Nepal through Bihar or Uttar Pradesh. The police have alerted the police in neighbouring States as well and the SSB paramilitary force that mans the Nepal border.
