A cement block suspected to have been used in the killings was recovered from the house. Preliminary investigation suggests the four women may have been attacked while they were asleep, said Assistant Commissioner of Police (Jaipur West) Shiv Kumar Bhadwaj.

Police and Forensic Science Laboratory teams reached the spot after locals alerted the authorities. Further investigation is underway.
