Tara Bridgemohan was a kind mother who loved to cook and spend time with her family and neighbours. That is how relatives and friends want the 75-year-old remembered after she was found dead while bound and gagged inside her bedroom following an apparent home invasion at her Hassanali Trace South, Barrackpore home.
Hours after her murder, relatives, neighbours and friends gathered quietly outside the house, embracing one another through tears as they shared stories about the pensioner they described as generous, welcoming and always willing to help.
Police said Bridgemohan was last seen alive around 4.30 pm on Friday after her daughter and son-in-law left home to tend to their bar in Monkey Town. When they returned shortly after 1 am yesterday, they found a downstairs room ransacked and a window on the side of the house broken. As they searched the two-storey home, they discovered more rooms in disarray before finding Bridgemohan lying face down on a bed in an upstairs bedroom.
