Two Sisters in Muzaffarnagar Village Allegedly Murder Father Over Years of Discrimination
In a shocking incident from a village in Muzaffarnagar district, two sisters, aged 16 and 32, have been arrested for the alleged murder of their 60-year-old father. The crime, which occurred late Sunday night, was reportedly driven by deep-seated resentment over what the daughters described as persistent taunts and discriminatory treatment within the family.
Premeditated Attack Following Days of Planning
According to police officials, the sisters had been conspiring to kill their farmer father for several days prior to the incident. On the fateful night, they executed a carefully planned scheme by serving food laced with sedatives to all family members, including their mother. This ensured that the household was subdued and unaware of their intentions.
Once their father fell into a deep sleep induced by the drugs, the younger daughter firmly held his legs to prevent any movement. Simultaneously, the elder sister used a kitchen knife to slit his throat, resulting in a fatal injury. The body was discovered early Monday morning, lying in a pool of blood, which prompted immediate police intervention.
Swift Police Investigation Leads to Confessions
Law enforcement authorities arrived swiftly at the scene and sent the body for a post-mortem examination. Within just two hours of initiating their investigation, police detained the two daughters for questioning. During interrogation, both sisters openly admitted to committing the murder, providing detailed accounts of their motives and actions.
A formal case has been registered under BNS section 103 (murder) at the Bhopa police station. Following their confessions, the accused were arrested and presented before a local court, which subsequently remanded them to judicial custody.
Motivation Rooted in Alleged Familial Bias
SP (Rural) Aditya Bansal elaborated on the sisters' statements during questioning. "The two daughters stated that they were profoundly distressed by their father's behavior towards them," Bansal reported. "They alleged that he treated his son and daughters differently, frequently scolding them and taunting them for remaining at home, being unmarried, and not engaging in work."
This alleged pattern of discrimination and verbal abuse reportedly fueled their decision to take extreme measures, highlighting severe familial tensions.
Key Evidence Recovered from the Crime Scene
In the aftermath of the investigation, police recovered critical pieces of evidence that corroborate the sisters' confessions. These include:
- Two strips of sleeping pills, confirming the use of sedatives.
- The murder weapon, a kitchen knife, which was seized for forensic analysis.
- Blood-stained clothes belonging to the elder daughter, which were found concealed in a pile of fodder on the property.
This evidence has been instrumental in building a strong case against the accused, underscoring the premeditated nature of the crime.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the local community, raising serious questions about familial dynamics and the psychological impact of long-term discrimination. As the legal process unfolds, authorities continue to investigate further details surrounding this tragic event.
