The bodies of a 60-year-old woman and her differently-abled daughter were found at their residence in outer Delhi's Mianwali Nagar area on Saturday morning, police said. The deceased were identified as Shashi Talwar and her daughter Nidhi (40).

The incident came to light after their maid returned to work in the morning, the police said. She rang the doorbell several times, but when there was no response, she entered the house from the other door and found the duo lying in a pool of blood, they said. The maid informed the police at around 10 am, they added. Shashi's throat was slit while Nidhi was attacked with a blunt object, the police said.
