A shocking incident has emerged from Madhya Pradesh, where a woman allegedly stabbed her sister-in-law to death after she made a remark about her brother on Raksha Bandhan on August 25. The accused woman then allegedly attempted to conceal the crime by throwing the victim’s body into a water tank. Police have arrested the accused.
The accused has been identified as Parvati Bai Kushwah, a resident of Indore. She allegedly stabbed her sister-in-law, Vandana, to death. Vandana had married Parvati’s brother, Upendra, on August 11 against the wishes of both families. The couple had been living separately in a rented house.
According to the police, the incident occurred after Vandana allegedly made a remark about Parvati’s brother, who is accused of rape and is currently lodged in jail in Damoh. The comment, reportedly made on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, angered Parvati. The argument soon escalated, and Parvati allegedly attacked Vandana in a fit of rage.
