<p>Unidentified men attacked an elderly couple by slitting their throats when they were taking a stroll in a park in northwest Delhi's Rohini area on Sunday.<br /></p>.<p> <br />While 56-year-old Kanchan died on the spot, her husband Kulbhushan Bhutani (60) is undergoing treatment and is in a critical condition.<br /><br />Police said the crime appears to be a planned one as none of their belongings were robbed. Kanchan’s gold jewellery and mobile phone were recovered by the police. Police also found the knife used in the attack. <br /><br />The couple, who had been residing in Prashant Vihar’s Laxmi Kunj apartments for the past 25 years, lived with two sons, their wives and children. <br /><br />According to the police, the couple was attacked around 8.30pm on Sunday when they were sitting on a bench in a children's park near their house. Bhutani called his family, who were out at the movies, around 9.30 pm to tell them what had happened. <br /><br />A ‘dabbawallah’ rushed Bhutani to the Bhagwati Hospital, which is adjacent to the park in Rohini sector 13. <br /><br />At the time of the attack, there were a number of people in the park. But it happened so suddenly and the killers ran away before anyone could see them, police said. <br /><br />A family member said that Kanchan and Bhutani often went to the park after dinner for a 30-minute walk. So, the person who planned the murder knew when and where to find the couple alone, police said. <br /><br />The MCD children’s park does not have security guards or CCTV cameras. There is police patrolling in the area once or twice a week, a resident of sector 13 said.<br /><br />A neighbour said that Bhutani had a cable TV wires manufacturing business and this could be a case of rivalry within or outside the family. However, the police said that they could comment only after speaking to Bhutani.</p>
