The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, highlighting severe domestic tensions.
Details of the Accused and the FIR
The FIR was lodged based on a complaint by the victim's father, Chedilal Yadav, who resides in Pratapgarh. The accused individuals include Teerthraj Singh (father-in-law), Saroj (mother-in-law), Yagya Narayan Singh alias Nanhe (uncle-in-law), and sisters-in-law Radha Singh, Ratna Singh, Jyoti Singh, and Vidhi Singh. All of them are residents of Sector I, Bangla Bazaar, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Aashiana police station.
Background of the Marriage and Alleged Threats
According to the complaint, the victim, Vishnu Yadav, aged 30, had a love marriage with Sakshi Singh, the daughter of Teerthraj Singh, approximately four years ago. The couple has a one-and-a-half-year-old daughter. Chedilal Yadav alleged that since the marriage, the in-laws were consistently unhappy and frequently subjected Vishnu to threats, abuse, assault, and even death threats, creating a hostile environment.
Timeline of the Tragic Incident
On March 15, Vishnu traveled from his village to Lucknow along with his wife to visit her parental home. The situation escalated tragically on the night of March 17, around 11 pm, when the family was informed by police that Vishnu had been murdered. Upon reaching Lucknow, Chedilal discovered that the body was kept in the mortuary. He later spoke to his daughter-in-law, Sakshi, who reportedly claimed that her father, mother, uncle, and sisters had jointly assaulted Vishnu inside the house, beating him to death.
Police Investigation and Actions Taken
Police officials confirmed that the incident occurred inside the accused's house, where Vishnu was allegedly attacked by multiple family members. Senior police officials stated that all the accused have been detained. Further action will be taken based on reports from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) and the autopsy, which are crucial for determining the exact cause of death and gathering evidence for the case.
