Tragic Murder in Bahraich: Widow Killed Over Insurance Dispute
Shocking Incident in Bahraich
In a disturbing incident from Bahraich's Dharmapur village, a man brutally murdered his widowed sister-in-law, Aarti Devi, using an axe over a dispute regarding insurance money. The accused, Dinesh Yadav, had his eyes set on the claim amount that Aarti received after her husband's death.
Motive Behind the Gruesome Act
This horrifying crime unfolded in the Murtiha police jurisdiction, where Dinesh tied Aarti's hands and feet to prevent her from calling for help before attacking her mercilessly. The motive behind this heinous act was revealed to be a conflict over a substantial insurance payout and land disputes.
Aarti Devi, aged 35, lost her husband, Police Singh, in a road accident about a year ago. Following his death, she received a significant sum as compensation from the insurance and accident claims. Dinesh, her brother-in-law, had been persistently demanding money from her. When Aarti refused, citing her children's future, Dinesh's anger escalated, leading to this tragic outcome.
A Night of Horror
On Thursday night, as Aarti was preparing to visit relatives, Dinesh confronted her again, reigniting the argument over money. After a violent altercation, he bound her with ropes and threw her to the ground. Once she was incapacitated, he struck her multiple times with the axe on her face, neck, and head, resulting in her immediate death. After committing the crime, Dinesh fled the scene.
Swift Police Action
The following morning, villagers discovered Aarti's bloodied body, causing panic in the area. Upon receiving the report, the local police and forensic team arrived promptly. They secured the body for an autopsy and began collecting evidence. Thanks to their quick response, Dinesh was apprehended within hours of the incident.
According to the police chief, Ram Naresh, Dinesh has confessed to his crime, admitting that greed drove him to plot his sister-in-law's murder. Authorities are now intensifying their efforts to recover the weapon used in the crime and proceed with legal actions.
