Urmilla Bhatt was found murdered at her residence in Juhu, Mumbai on 22 February 1997. Her death came to light when a family friend Vikram Parikh came to see her. Bhatt's neighbour told Vikram that the maid servant went back after ringing the door bell for long time in the morning. Parikh immediately called Mrs. Bhatt's daughter Rachana, who found the house robbed and her mother dead. Her husband was away in Baroda. Police suspected robbery to be the motive.[3]
