Retired IPS Officer’s Wife Found Murdered At Jubilee Hills Residence In Hyderabad; Valuables Stolen, Probe Underway

Hyderabad: The wife of retired IPS officer Vinay Ranjan Ray was allegedly killed by a Nepali gang with the help of a domestic help here in the wee hours of Friday, police said.

Tanuja (62) was murdered at around 2 AM.

The body was found on the first floor of the multi-storey building, in Prashasan Nagar of posh Jubilee Hills.

Ray, a DG rank officer who retired from the Andhra Pradesh cadre, was out of the station, and their children were on the upper floor of the house, police said.

The culprits allegedly smothered Tanuja to death and decamped with valuables from the house. The stolen items are being ascertained.

Hyderabad Police Commissioner V C Sajjanar, who inspected the scene of the offence, citing preliminary investigation, said a Nepali gang is suspected to be behind the murder.

"Some clues have been found. Based on it, police teams are working," he said.

The gang committed the offence in collusion with a woman domestic help in the house, Sajjanar further said.

He expressed confidence that the gang will soon be nabbed.

Several senior police officials visited the house, and an investigation was underway.

There was no need for the public to be panicked, the Commissioner said, adding that those who have employed people from Nepal at their homes should keep a watch on them.
