The decomposed body of a 64-year-old woman was found in her apartment in Jamia Nagar, while her ailing husband, former Jamia Millia Islamia teacher Siraz Khan, 70, was rescued, along with their son, the police said on Monday. The couple’s 50-year-old son, Imran, who has mobility impairment and suffers from intellectual impairment as well, couldn’t call for help, the police added.

An officer said they have inspected the spot, and proceedings under Section 176 (procedure for investigation) of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita are under way.
