In a horrifying incedent reported from Greater Noida, a 50-year-old woman was allegedly beaten to death by a brick, the woman was found dead inside her house, police said.

Her husband, who runs a food stall, had notified the cops about the incident that happened at Dankaur’s Chapargarh village on Tuesday, a senior police officer said.

"The couple had a fast food stall barely 100 metres from their home. Last night, they returned home, but the husband said he had forgotten his sweater at the stall and went to take it. When he returned, he found his wife's body who appeared to have been beaten severely by a brick but nobody else was at home," Greater Noida Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajesh Kumar Singh said.

An FIR has been registered in the matter and the dead body has been sent for autopsy, he said, adding that further legal proceedings were being conducted.
