Horrific Revenge Killing in Shahjahanpur During Holi Celebrations

Shocking Incident Unfolds

As the door swung open, the assailant deceived the victim with a Holi greeting, throwing colored powder at him. Before Brijdeep could react, the attacker splashed acid from a bottle, severely injuring him. This shocking report comes from Rohit Pandey.

In Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, a vengeful husband committed a gruesome act that left the community in shock. Wearing a mask, he brutally murdered his wife and attacked her lover with acid. The incident occurred around 6 AM on Wednesday, as people were preparing to celebrate Holi.

Upon entering the house, the perpetrator, Manmohan Pandey, pretended to celebrate the festival by throwing gulal. As Brijdeep was taken by surprise, Manmohan poured acid on him, causing severe burns. Hearing the commotion, the victim's wife, Aarti (31), rushed out, only to be attacked with a sharp weapon, resulting in her throat being slit.

Background of the Tragedy

Reports indicate that Manmohan and Aarti had been married for approximately ten years and had a seven-year-old daughter. Their relationship had been strained for some time, with a divorce case pending in court. Aarti was living with her acquaintance Brijdeep, and they were planning to marry soon. This situation fueled Manmohan's rage, leading to this horrific crime.

Impact on Innocent Lives

Despite being severely burned, Brijdeep fought back against his attacker, resulting in injuries to Manmohan as well. Police arrived at the scene and transported the injured to a government medical college, where Aarti was pronounced dead. This tragic event has left a seven-year-old girl orphaned, as her father faces the prospect of imprisonment. The local police have registered a case against Manmohan Pandey for murder and attempted murder based on Brijdeep's complaint.
