The deaths came to light when the duo did not come out of the room and the woman’s husband Prem Das, who is differently abled, peeped in through a window with the help of his neighbours, he said. “According to villagers, the woman worked as a maid in the village, while her son was a labourer. His husband stayed home due to his handicap,” the official said.
