Two Ascetics Killed and Burned in Shahjahanpur Temple; Suspect Arrested
Two elderly ascetics, Gopal Das and Bihari Das, were killed and their bodies set on fire inside a Shiva temple in Shahjahanpur's Sutha village. Police arrested 35-year-old Sumit Singh, who allegedly attacked the men with an iron rod while they slept, then burned their bodies to destroy evidence. Singh reportedly sought control over the temple premises. The incident was discovered by villagers early Thursday, prompting a police investigation and recovery of the weapon used.
