Muzaffarnagar, Jan 9 (PTI) A woman and her paramour were arrested Wednesday for allegedly killing her 40-year-old mother here, police said.
Ishavati was found dead at her house and her daughter Nilam in an unconscious state on Saturday, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Sudhir Kumar said.
During investigation, it was found that Nilam and her paramour Manu were involved in the killing, he said.
It is suspected that the duo killed the woman as she had opposed their relationship, Kumar said.

The woman was killed when her husband had gone out of the house, the SSP said.
Police had earlier registered a case against unidentified persons.
