Kota (Rajasthan): A 65-year-old man was found dead in his house on Friday morning in a village in Bundi district of Rajasthan.

He said that the police has identified the deceased as Girdharilal Saini, resident of Gotra village and he was a farmer by profession.

According to the police, when Saini did not respond to the call, his son-in-law went to meet him, but found the house locked from inside. He then went to the neighbour's house and found Saini lying on the first floor.

When the police reached the spot, they found that Saini's neck had been attacked with a sharp weapon. Police station in-charge Manoj Singh Sikarwal said that he also suffered injuries on his head.

During the initial investigation, the police suspected robbery as things were scattered in his house. But later, they found Rs 1.33 lakh in cash, which was kept safely and probably unnoticed by the accused, said the station in-charge.

Saini lived alone in his house while his son lived separately. Police station in-charge said that the body was handed over to the family after post-mortem.

Efforts are being made to catch the accused. He said further investigation is underway.
