In separate news, a woman in Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur Dehat, along with her partner, allegedly murdered her 23-year-old son using a hammer and staged it as a road accident to claim his insurance money, police said. The accused, identified as Mayank alias Ishu Katiyar, and his brother Rishi, carried out the killing inside a car on October 26.

Police said the victim, Pradeep Sharma, opposed his mother’s relationship with Mayank and had moved away after his father’s death. The duo allegedly bought multiple insurance policies in his name before plotting his murder. They attacked Pradeep while driving on the Kanpur-Etawah Highway and dumped his body to make it appear accidental.

A police investigation later exposed the crime, recovering the hammer, a firearm, and the vehicle. Both accused were arrested after an encounter, during which Rishi was shot and injured. Pradeep’s mother is also under investigation for her involvement.
