Delhi court denies bail to woman accused of killing two daughters

NEW DELHI: (Apr 13) A Delhi court has denied bail to a 53-year-old woman accused of murdering her two daughters at their residence in south Delhi's Malviya Nagar last month.

Observing that the allegations were grave and there was a high risk of the accused influencing a primary witness, Additional Sessions Judge Hargurvarinder Singh Jaggi rejected the bail plea of Sunita Arora, who has been in custody since March 13 in connection with a case registered under Section 103(1) (murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

According to the prosecution, police were alerted through a PCR call on March 5 by the woman's husband, Sudhir Arora, who reported that his wife and two daughters were not responding from inside their locked house.
