Newlywed Woman in Indore Stabbed by Sister-in-Law, Body Found in Water TankPreviousNext

In Indore's Rau area, 22-year-old newlywed Vandana Patel was found dead in a water tank outside her home. Police investigations revealed she was stabbed by her sister-in-law, Parvati Bai, following a dispute over a remark about Parvati's brother, who is incarcerated. Parvati was arrested, and the murder weapon recovered. Vandana had married Rupendra Patel in a love marriage, which reportedly caused family tensions. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the case.
