They say they contacted the local police outpost for help, but did not receive it in time.
The woman's son said: "We brought her back home, and laid her down to rest. We gave her some water, but she began to struggle and gasp. We desperately tried to get her to a hospital but there was no transport. With the help of neighbours, we arranged for a tractor, but by then, she had died. We did not have any money."
There is a community health centre nearby, but there were no nurses or doctors there, the family said.
According to the family, when they asked police for help around 3.30pm, they were told that there was no ambulance available. It wasn't until 11:30pm that they managed to reach Khandwa by tractor after paying Rs 4,500.
Khandwa collector Rishav Gupta responded to the allegations, saying, "While ambulances are typically arranged for patients, not deceased individuals, the administration would have taken some action if information was received on time.
In this case, the delay in information reaching the authorities was significant. The woman's body was initially transported in a tractor-trolley provided by a neighbour and then brought to Khandwa in an SUV arranged by police.
"
Gupta said it was police who paid for the transportation, and that it was confirmed by the officials involved. "An impartial investigation is underway, and the administration is fully focused on ensuring that those responsible for the crime receive the strictest possible punishment," he said.

There are two hearses in Khalwa and Harsood, but they too were not used. "Police received a call around 2:40pm, after which a team from the outpost went to the spot and helped them arrange a tractor. After that, the outpost in charge hired a Tavera, paying Rs 2,500, and transported the body," said SP Manoj Rai.
Both the accused were produced in court and remanded in police custody for two more days as investigations continue. Rai visited the crime scene on Tuesday and spoke with the family members and neighbours of the victim. Police took them to the crime scene as well on Tuesday.

Fund manager arrested for ‘front-running' seeks bail, claims company thrived in his tenure
The former chief trader and fund manager of Axis Mutual Fund arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) over allegations of cheating through front-running, has claimed in his bail plea that the mutual fund 'only thrived' during his tenure and that he regularly received 'outstanding' ratings in annual appraisals. Viresh Joshi was arrested on August 2 by the ED ,for allegedly misusing confidential information on trades to be executed on behalf of Axis Mutual Fund to preemptively trade stocks, generating substantial illicit gains, through front-running — an illegal trading practice where a fund manager or broker exploits a non-public impending large investment decision to take a position and benefit from price rise after the large investment. The ED has claimed that it suspects the proceeds of crime to be Rs 300 crore in the case, with Rs 91 crore so far traced to bank accounts of family members of Joshi from various shell companies. 'The applicant's (Joshi) professional conduct throughout his 14-year-tenure at Axis Asset Management Company, (AMC) has been beyond reproach. He consistently met or exceeded performance targets, earning timely promotions from assistant vice president to senior vice president and regularly receiving 'outstanding' ratings in annual appraisals. His integrity and diligence were recognised through multiple internal awards….and invitations to speak at prominent industry forums,' the bail plea filed through lawyer Manan Sanghai said. 'The conduct of the applicant during his tenure more than sufficiently adduces that Axis Mutual Funds only thrived while the applicant was employed with them as is evidenced by the publicly available documents issued by AMF in respect of its own mutual funds scheme,' it said. Joshi further said that all trades were routed only through empanelled brokers and he had no discretion over trade selection, timing or price and operated strictly within a tightly regulated framework. 'The applicant's role was operational in nature and served solely to assist between the fund manager's decision and the said decision's market execution,' the bail plea said. In February 2022, the board of directors of the Axis AMC decided to conduct an internal investigation and all employees were asked to hand over their personal and work email ID with passwords, office computer data, office mobile recorded phones, work from home laptops, personal phones, to an external independent investigator. Joshi was placed under temporary suspension on May 3, 2022, and was terminated on May 18, 2022. Market regulatory authority, Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) had initiated a probe and summoned Joshi. He submitted that he had complied with the summons and his statement was recorded. Sebi passed an interim order in 2023 stating that Joshi was involved in 'front-running', and directions were issued including repayment of alleged illegal gains of Rs 30.56 crore. The bail plea says that the allegations are based on snippets of chat and incomplete trade logs and other data, and is pending finality. Joshi in his plea has said that he has cooperated with the probe, spanning multiple parallel agencies, including the Sebi, EOW, Income Tax department and ED and that he is not a flight risk. The ED has been asked to file a reply.

Woman's mutilated body found in Hathras, police arrest kin for murder
Agency: Last Updated: August 12, 2025, 20:00 IST Representational image (Image: News18) Hathras (UP), Aug 12 (PTI) Two days after a woman's mutilated body was found along a canal bank here, police arrested her father and step-grandfather in connection with the murder. The woman's stepmother has also been detained in the matter, police said. Investigations began on August 10 after villagers in the Bahardoi Shahbazpur area spotted the dismembered body near an irrigation canal. Five police teams were formed to investigate the case as initial efforts to identify the victim failed. On Monday, the police identified the victim as Tamanna (19) from Adhauna village in Akrabad, Aligarh district. Her uncle, Abdul Farahim Khan, confirmed the identity and lodged a complaint against unidentified persons. During the investigation, police found that the woman's father, Hasrat Ali, her step-mother, and the step-grandfather, Rajjo Pehalwan alias Raju from Alhaipur village in Hathras district, were involved in the murder, they said. On Tuesday morning, police arrested Hasrat and Rajjo near a canal in Salempur, and detained the stepmother from her parental home in Alhaipur. According to police, Hasrat had divorced Tamanna's mother six years ago and remarried, following which she lived with her father and stepmother. In July, she allegedly left home with a young man from Aligarh for a short time before returning. This allegedly enraged Hasrat and his second wife, leading to harassment and physical abuse, police said. On August 8, Tamanna left her home quietly in the afternoon but was intercepted by her father and stepmother near the Panethi Bridge in Aligarh. Fearing social stigma, the two plotted to kill her and also involved the step-father. Swipe Left For Next Video View all Superintendent of Police Chiranjeev Nath Sinha said, 'the girl was lured to her step-grandfather's house in Chandpa, where she was drugged, strangled, and then taken to the canal. There, the stepmother and step-grandfather held her while the father slit her throat with a knife." 'They also dishevelled her clothing to mislead investigators about the nature of the crime," he said. All three suspects were arrested within 48 hours, and the team that solved the case will receive a reward of Rs 25,000, Sinha added.
