Sulekha Mukherjee, 65, was found lying dead on the floor of her house in Bandel. It seems she was attacked on Wednesday night during a robbery, a police officer said.
"There was a deep cut on her throat, caused by a sharp weapon. Her head was also hit with something heavy to ensure she died. Both rooms in the house were found ransacked and valuables stolen," the officer said.
Mukherjee, a former teacher involved in archaeological research after retirement, had many stones and carvings of historical and archaeological value in her possession.
Investigators said they would take a stock of all archaeological items in her house to check if something valuable had gone missing.
