Ahmedabad Woman Arrested for Drugging Elderly Victims in Robbery Resulting in Death

A 55-year-old woman, Lataben alias Gulab Chauhan, was arrested in Ahmedabad for drugging elderly victims with sedative-laced lassi to rob them. In one case, 81-year-old Abdulbhai Sipai died due to complications from the sedative, while his wife survived. Chauhan, described as a habitual offender with multiple prior cases since 2019, targeted isolated senior citizens using a calculated method involving offering help to gain entry. Police have charged her with robbery and homicide.
