The woman was identified as Vimla Devi, who lived with her son and daughter-in-law.

Her body was found around 12 pm today by her relatives, who called up the police control room.

Her limbs were tied with a rope and she suffered severe injuries on her head and forehead, said a senior police officer.

A case under Section 302 (murder) of IPC has been registered at Kapashera police station, said the officer.
