For allegedly murdering his wife in order to pursue a connection with his sister-in-law, a man from Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, has been placed under arrest. Due to their inability to conceive, Ankit Kumar is suspected of plotting with his buddy Sachin Kumar to set up a vehicle accident for his wife Kiran.

Thirty-year-old Kiran was killed in the event; she was critically injured and pronounced dead at the hospital. The police have seized the car that was involved in the incident and detained Ankit and Sachin.

Senior Police Officer Bharat Sonkar said that Ankit first reported Kiran’s death on March 8 in a traffic accident. He said that when he was stopping at a gas station to fill up his motorbike, a vehicle ran her over as he was transporting her from her parents’ home to their own. His complaint led to the registration of a case and the start of an inquiry.

After examining CCTV video, police were able to identify the car’s owner as Ankit’s close buddy Sachin. Ankit admitted to the conspiracy during interrogation, saying that he wanted to wed his sister-in-law after five years of marriage without children. He planned to kill her when she turned down his proposal since he was already married to Kiran.

Separately, on March 21, a guy who was suspected of trying to rape and kill a lady in Lucknow was slain in a police confrontation. Before strangling the victim in Malihabad on March 18, the accused, Ajay Dwivedi, and his brother Dinesh reportedly attempted to sexually abuse her. On March 21, Dinesh was taken into custody in the morning, and Ajay was located in the evening.

Ajay opened fire on the police when they challenged him, which led to retaliation and his shooting. After being brought to a hospital, the physicians pronounced him dead. For his apprehension, the police had offered a reward of Rs 1 lakh.
