UP man kills pregnant sister-in-law, threatens to blow up house as cops near
An intoxicated man in Saharanpur allegedly killed his pregnant sister-in-law with a spade inside their home. He then held off family members and police with the weapon and an open gas cylinder before being arrested.
A house in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur turned into a scene of bloodshed when a drug-intoxicated brother-in-law allegedly killed his pregnant sister-in-law with a spade. Then, soaked in her blood, the accused, Aamir, wielded the spade to keep his brother and others from approaching him. When Aamir’s brother returned with the police, he was standing there with a gas cylinder valve open, threatening to blow up the entire house.
The sight of Aamir holding a blood-stained spade and a gas cylinder sent chills through the entire neighbourhood.
The deceased, identified as Sana Naz, had married Salman in a love marriage about six months ago. After the marriage, the couple had been living with their family, and life was reportedly normal until Sunday evening turned tragic.
According to family members, Salman’s younger brother Aamir arrived home under the influence of drugs. A dispute broke out between him and his sister-in-law, Sana Naz.
The argument quickly escalated, and Aamir picked up a spade kept in the house and attacked her.
He struck multiple blows on her head, neck, and abdomen. Naz, who was pregnant, collapsed in pain, and her screams echoed through the entire neighbourhood.
When husband Salman rushed in to save his wife, the accused stood near the body holding a blood-stained spade and prevented anyone from entering.
Terrified locals gathered outside but none dared to approach.
The accused’s aggression was so severe that he initially did not allow police to enter the house either.
Salman somehow escaped and informed the police. Upon receiving the alert, police reached the spot, where Aamir was seen standing inside the house wielding the spade.
During this, he also opened a gas cylinder and threatened to set it on fire, causing chaos in the area. Residents locked themselves inside their homes in fear. A tense standoff continued for nearly two hours between police and the accused. After extensive effort, persuasion, and encirclement, police managed to overpower and arrest him.
Around 7:45 pm on Sunday, Salman informed the police that his brother Aamir had killed his wife Sana Naz and was still inside the house with a spade, not allowing anyone to enter, the local police told India Today.
Police reached the spot and apprehended the accused after considerable effort. The body bore deep injuries on the head, neck, and abdomen caused by the spade. The forensic team collected blood-stained floor samples, the weapon, and other evidence. The body has been sent for postmortem.
Based on the complaint of the victim’s father Mohammad Ashiq, an FIR has been registered. Preliminary investigation suggests domestic dispute and intoxication as the cause of the murder. The accused has been arrested and further legal action is underway.
