Uncle's Murder: Nephew Arrested in Affair Scandal

In a shocking tale of passion and betrayal, a nephew was arrested for murdering his uncle over a long-standing affair. Police continue to investigate this chilling crime.

Nephew, aunt accused in shocking murder plot

In a twisted affair, a man murdered his uncle. Police arrested the nephew and his friend. Investigations are ongoing.

A man allegedly shot dead his uncle, who found out about his five-year-long relationship with the latter's wife, police said here on Wednesday.
The murder was the outcome of an alleged conspiracy involving the wife and was executed with the help of the nephew's friend, they said.
The nephew, Mehrban, and his associate Umar, both in their early 20s, have been arrested following a brief encounter with the police.
Additional Superintendent of Police Sanjeev Vajpayee said the bullet-riddled body of 35-year-old Farooq, a resident of Dholkiyan in Kiratpur, was recovered on Monday from a forested area near Rampur Asha village.
Preliminary investigation revealed that two men had brought him there on a motorcycle and gunned him down before fleeing.
Following a complaint by the victim's brother, Naeem, a named FIR was registered against Mehrban and Umar. Acting on a tip-off, police attempted to stop the duo late Tuesday night near Aman Colony.
The two opened fire, prompting retaliatory action in which Mehrban was shot in the leg and apprehended along with Umar, he said.
Police recovered two country-made pistols, the motorcycle used in the crime, and the victim's mobile phone.
During questioning, Mehrban confessed to having a five-year-long relationship with his aunt Amreen.
When he found out about the affair, Farooq allegedly began abusing his wife. So they formed a plan to kill him, police said.
ASP Vajpayee added that further action, including interrogation of the victim's wife, is underway.

Ex-Karnataka police chief Om Prakash's murder witnesses a twist as wife Pallavi allegedly confesses over a video call. Authorities examine a potential real estate dispute motive, with no arrests yet.

Karnataka Police Chief Murder: Wife Confesses

The wife of former Karnataka police chief Om Prakash, Pallavi, reportedly confessed to his murder over a video call. Authorities focus on a real estate dispute in their investigation as tensions rise.

Ex-Karnataka police chief wife allegedly confessed murder of her husband on video call

Pallavi confessed to the murder of ex-police chief Om Prakash via a video call. The motive is suspected to be a real estate dispute. She and her daughter Kruthi are under investigation.

In a shocking turn of events, Pallavi, the wife of former Karnataka police chief Om Prakash, has reportedly confessed to his murder during a video call with a neighbour. According to sources, Pallavi claimed, "I have killed the monster," during the conversation.&nbsp;
The tragic incident unfolded on Sunday afternoon when Pallavi and Om Prakash allegedly had a heated argument around 3:30 pm. It is reported that Pallavi incapacitated her husband by throwing chilli powder at him, then tied him up and stabbed him multiple times with two knives, as confirmed by a medical examination.
Following the murder, Pallavi allegedly video-called a neighbour, who is married to another police officer, to confess. The neighbour immediately informed her husband, leading to police intervention. When authorities arrived at the residence of Om Prakash, they detained both Pallavi and the couple's daughter, Kruthi, for questioning that lasted over 12 hours.
The police have identified Pallavi as the prime suspect, citing a potential motive linked to a dispute over real estate that Om Prakash had transferred to a family member. A police case has been filed based on a complaint by the couple's son, Kartikeya.
Kartikeya claims both his mother and sister suffer from depression and had previously threatened his father. Due to these threats, Om Prakash had temporarily moved to his sister&rsquo;s house for safety but was brought back by his daughter just 48 hours prior to the tragic event.
On the day of the murder, Kartikeya was at an event in Domlur when neighbours alerted him to the incident. He rushed home only to find police at the scene and his father dead in a pool of blood. He stated, "My mother, Pallavi, and my sister, Kruthi, have been suffering from depression and used to fight with my father frequently. I strongly suspect that they are involved in the murder of my father."
As investigations continue, no arrests have been made. Om Prakash, originally from Bihar, held a master's degree in Geology and had a distinguished career, having served as the Director General of Police of Karnataka in March 2025. He also led the Fire and Emergency Services and Home Guards before his tenure as police chief.

A couple in Bareilly is arrested for allegedly murdering a husband disguising it as suicide

A couple in Bareilly has been arrested for allegedly murdering a husband and staging it as suicide. Initially seen as suicide, autopsy pointed to strangulation. Rekha confessed to poisoning. Investigation continues.

A 25-year-old woman and her partner were arrested for allegedly poisoning and strangulating her husband with a rope that was then used to hang the body to make it look like suicide, police here said Friday.
According to officials, the incident occurred on April 13 when Kehr Singh's body was found hanging in a rented room with the door locked from inside.
Initially, it was suspected to be a case of suicide. However, the post-mortem report said he died due to strangulation, they said.
Additional Superintendent of Police (North) Mukesh Chandra Mishra said, "The post-mortem report clearly indicates death by strangulation, though the closed room suggested a suicide. We are investigating all possible angles and have taken both named accused -- Rekha and her lover Pintu (25) -- into custody." The couple was sent to jail after a medical examination on Friday.
Singh was working as a sanitation worker posted on contract with the Fatehganj Paschimi Nagar Panchayat in Bareilly.
Mishra said, "Suspecting poisoning, we have also preserved the victim's viscera for forensic testing. During questioning, Rekha initially avoided direct answers but later confessed to mixing poison in her husband's food. However, she denied strangling him or hanging the body, claiming her husband might have locked the room and taken his own life." Police said they are awaiting the viscera report to confirm the poisoning.
Meanwhile, a case of murder has been registered against Rekha and Pintu at the Fatehganj Paschimi police station based on a complaint filed by the victim's brother, Ashok.
In his complaint, Ashok alleged that his brother had learned about his wife's affair with Pintu. Following this, they conspired to kill his brother.
"They first gave him poison. When he became unconscious, they strangled him with a rope and then used the same rope to hang his body from the ceiling to make it look like suicide," the FIR stated.
The investigation is ongoing, and further action will depend on the forensic findings and statement corroboration, police said.

Delhi police cracked a murder case using a nose pin as a critical clue. Anil Kumar was arrested after it linked him to his wife's murder, through a jewelry store record, revealing his role in the crime.

Nose Pin Leads to Arrest in Delhi Murder Case

A nose pin assisted Delhi police in arresting Anil Kumar for his wife's murder. The nose pin traced back to Kumar through a jewelry store, combined with family disclosures, unveiled the crime.

Delhi police solved a murder case with a nose pin's help, leading to the arrest of Anil Kumar, the victim's husband. The pin linked to him through a jewelry store, alongside family revelations, strengthened the case.

A nose pin has become a crucial lead for Delhi police in unraveling the case of a woman whose body was discovered in a drain nearly a month ago. The investigation has led to the arrest of Anil Kumar, a businessman and husband of the deceased, whom the police suspect of murdering her and disposing of the body in the drain.
On March 15, a woman's body was discovered wrapped in a bedsheet and weighted with a stone and a cement sack in a Delhi drain. The turning point in the investigation was the identification of the woman, made possible through a distinctive nose pin. This piece of jewelry ultimately unlocked the mystery behind the murder.
The nose pin was traced back to a jewelry store in South Delhi, where records revealed it had been purchased by Anil Kumar, a property dealer residing at a farmhouse in Gurugram. The transaction was billed in his name, bringing him under police scrutiny.
The deceased was identified as Seema Singh, 47 years old. Upon approaching Mr. Kumar, the police were informed that Ms. Singh, his wife of 20 years, had supposedly traveled to Vrindavan without her phone&mdash;a claim that immediately aroused suspicions.
Digging deeper, the police visited Mr. Kumar's office in Dwarka and discovered his mother-in-law's contact information in a diary. When they reached out to Ms. Singh's family, her sister Babita expressed concern, revealing that they had not been in contact with her since March 11. Despite their anxiety, Mr. Kumar had previously assured them that Ms. Singh was in Jaipur and not inclined to speak, persuading the family to delay approaching the authorities.
On April 1, the family was summoned to identify a body, which they confirmed as Ms. Singh's. The following day, her elder son corroborated the identification. The post-mortem report indicated that Ms. Singh had been strangled to death. Adding to the family's suspicions, Babita noted that only Mr. Kumar and Ms. Singh had access to the keys of their Dwarka residence.
With these revelations, the investigation has gathered momentum, cementing the nose pin's role as a pivotal clue in solving this tragic case.

A 22-year-old woman, in collaboration with her lover, allegedly orchestrated the murder of her husband just two weeks after their marriage in Auraiya district, Uttar Pradesh.

An Iranian man killed in father and brother over a family dispute on Saturday

A 30-year-old man gunned down 12 of his relatives Saturday in a remote rural area in southeast Iran, the deadliest shooting reported in decades.
Head of the justice department of the province of Kerman, Ebrahim Hamidi, told the semiofficial ISNA news agency the gunman opened fire on his father, brother and other relatives early morning in a village because of family disputes.
The report, which did not identify the assailant, stated he used a Kalashnikov assault rifle.
Local media report on occasional shootings, but this attack has had the highest death toll in Iran, where citizens are only legally allowed hunting rifles, common in rural areas.
In 2022, an employee, who was dismissed from a state-owned financial conglomerate, opened fire at his former workplace, killing three people and injuring another five before killing himself in the country's west. In 2016, a 26-year-old man shot 10 relatives in a rural area in the south of Iran.

Divya Pahuja's body still missing, source claims it was at hotel when police first visited

The footage shows the suspects purportedly dragging her body wrapped in a white sheet through the hotel lobby to the BMW car. The car was found abandoned at a bus stand in Punjab&rsquo;s Patiala, however, the former model&rsquo;s body is yet to be recovered.

Hours after ex-model Divya Pahuja was shot dead in a Gurugram hotel, police responded to a call and visited the hotel and returned after checking room number 114, while the body was lying in another room, police sources said Friday.
The 27-year-old woman was taken to Hotel City Point on Tuesday by five people and allegedly shot dead inside room number 111, they said.
While Divya&rsquo;s body is yet to be recovered, on Friday, a three-member Special Investigation Team (SIT), which will be led by ACP crime Varun Dahiya, was formed to probe the case, police said. The team will work under the supervision of DCP Crime Vijay Pratap Singh.
According to the sources, the main accused hotel owner Abhijit Singh revealed that Divya was shot dead in the hotel at 5 pm on Tuesday.
He called Anup, to whom the hotel was given on lease, for help but Anup informed the police about the murder at 9 pm, they said.
After getting information, police reached the spot and returned after checking room number 114 while Divya&rsquo;s body was lying in room number 111, the sources said.
Taking advantage of this, Abhijit asked his friends Balraj Gill and Ravi Bandra for help in disposing of the body. In a CCTV footage, Abhijit can be seen fleeing the hotel in a blue BMW car with Divya's body in the boot, they said.
Later, Anup again called the police at 11 pm on which the police took a serious note. After examining the CCTV footage, the murder was revealed but by then the suspects had fled with the body.
The footage shows the suspects, including Abhijit, purportedly dragging her body wrapped in a white sheet through the hotel lobby to the BMW car, police had said.

Sandeep Gadoli, a dreaded gangster from Gurugram, was killed in a shootout in Mumbai on February 6, 2016. Later, the Mumbai police said Gadoli had been lured into a trap with the help of his "girlfriend" Divya and killed in a fake encounter.
Virendra Kumar alias Binder Gujjar ran a rival gang and allegedly conspired with Haryana Police officials to eliminate Gadoli. Gujjar was in prison at the time of the encounter, but he hatched the conspiracy with the help of his brother Manoj and roped in Divya as a honey trap.
An FIR was registered against five police personnel, Divya, her mother and others.
The Bombay High Court had granted bail to Divya in June last year, about seven years after she was arrested.
Police are probing the case from three angles &ndash; blackmail, roles of gangster Gadoli's family, and Gujjar&rsquo;s involvement.
DCP Crime Singh said the revelations made by Abhijit are being verified and he is also being interrogated about Divya.
Abhijit claims that he killed Divya because she was blackmailing him, he said.
"We are also interrogating Hemraj and Om Prakash and trying to connect the entire sequence of events that took place on January 2. Divya's mobile has also been sent to Diatec Lab for testing,&rdquo; the DCP said.
&ldquo;Our teams are continuing to raid suspect places and hope the body of the deceased will be recovered soon,&rdquo; he said.&nbsp;
