AGRA: The owner of a private hospital in Itimad-ud-Daulah locality allegedly murdered his wife over family disputes.
The incident happened on Monday night but came to light only on Tuesday. The victim was identified as Mithelesh. Police have registered a case against Mithelesh’s husband Lucky Yadav, his brother Rinku and second wife Jyoti based on the complaint lodged by Samar Singh, brother of the victim.
Samar Singh and his relatives also staged a protest at the district collectorate demanding the arrest of the accused. They met senior superintendent of police (SSP) DC Dubey claiming that the investigation officer Ranjeet Yadav was hand in gloves with the accused.
Samar Singh told the SSP that the SI locked the house from outside on Tuesday forcing the kids to spend the night on the streets.
Lucky Yadav allegedly sent their kids to attend a religious function in the locality and allegedly smothered Mithelesh with a pillow. The couple had a sour relationship for a long time and Lucky had secretly married Jyoti, a nurse in his hospital.
The SSP assured the victim’s family that proper steps would be taken to ensure a fair probe in the matter.
