Three Family Members Found Murdered in Prayagraj Village; Investigation UnderwayPreviousNext

In Prayagraj's Kukurkatwa village, three elderly family members—Shyamlal, his wife Manju Devi, and sister-in-law—were found murdered with head injuries, their blood-stained bodies left outside their home. Police have registered a case and are investigating, deploying forensic teams and questioning locals. While family members have named a suspect, the motive remains unclear, and no valuables appear to have been stolen, suggesting robbery is unlikely.
