Woman Kills Mother for Property, Job

A shocking incident has come to light in Jaipur where a 23-year-old woman, Ayushi Sharma, orchestrated the murder of her own mother, Neeraj Sharma, to gain control of family property and secure a government job.

The victim, 45-year-old Neeraj Sharma, was a lower division clerk in a court and was killed on July 3 in Jaipur's Pratap Nagar area. She was run over by a Scorpio SUV in an attempt to make the murder look like a road accident.

Police have arrested seven people, including Ayushi Sharma, her uncle Mohan Swaroop, and other conspirators in connection with the case. Ayushi's cousin, Balram alias Ravi, remains at large.

According to police, Neeraj was returning home after dropping her son at a coaching centre when the Scorpio rammed her. The impact killed her on the spot. The driver fled with the vehicle after the incident.

As investigators examined CCTV footage from the area, they found evidence suggesting that the collision was not an accident but a planned murder. The investigation eventually unearthed a conspiracy involving multiple family members and hired assailants.

The motive behind the murder was linked to a government job and property dispute between the mother and daughter. Neeraj had received a compassionate appointment after her husband's death and joined service as an LDC, a job Ayushi wanted for herself.

Ayushi conspired with her uncle and cousin to kill her mother, hiring a contract killer for Rs 7 lakh. The accused initially conducted surveillance on Neeraj using a rented Thar SUV but were unsuccessful. They continued monitoring her movements for nearly a month before carrying out the final attack using a Scorpio.

The case was reported to police by Neeraj's brother, Rakesh Kumar Sharma.
