Madhya Pradesh’s Sehore is reeling from a heinous family betrayal, as uncle Hari Singh Malviya allegedly murdered nephew Kuldeep and niece Sheetla in a vicious land dispute. The crime in Ashta’s Dharmapuri has ignited public fury and a determined police chase.
Jagdish Malviya’s children, aged 20 and 22, were gearing up for board exams when death knocked via their relative’s hand. Hari, nursing grudges over shared land, ambushed them Friday with lethal blows from lathis and sticks.
Neighbors’ desperate aid couldn’t defy fate; the young duo perished despite hospital transfer. The brothers’ enmity, spanning years, manifested in this ultimate atrocity.
Villagers’ wrath erupted in demonstrations, marked by a tussle with police, quelled by rapid reinforcements. Autopsies verified the assault’s toll, fueling the manhunt.
Police machinery is in overdrive. ‘Dedicated squads, surveillance, and intel networks target Hari Singh’s whereabouts,’ ASP Sunita Rawat outlined.
‘Village and medical sites secured; probe advancing methodically,’ SHO Girish Dubey assured amid ongoing operations.
This blood-soaked saga exposes the perils of unchecked familial rifts, calling for stronger dispute arbitration. As searches expand, Sehore holds its breath for closure and retribution for the slain exam aspirants.
