The Uttar Pradesh police were successful in solving a murder case of an elderly woman within 24 hours. The incident took place in a village named Gidhiya under the Kon police station in Sonbhadra district. Two women were arrested for allegedly killing their 65-year-old mother-in-law. The victim’s dead body was found in a nearby field.
On August 15, the police began their investigation after the victim’s elder daughter-in-law, Roja Khatun, filed a complaint against unknown people. The authorities quickly formed teams to solve the case. According to CO Harsh Pandey, during their investigation, they learned that the woman, identified as Jaharun Khatun, had four daughters-in-law, and all their husbands lived outside the village to earn their livelihood while the women stayed at home.
