Delhi Court Convicts Man for 2018 Murder of Wife and Daughter with Iron Rod
A Delhi court convicted Nand Kishore for murdering his wife Vidyawati and daughter Kavita with an iron rod and attempting to kill another daughter in 2018. The court rejected the defence's claim of a burglar attack, citing circumstantial and corroborative evidence, including DNA on the weapon and the accused being found at the scene. Kavita died at AIIMS, the wife died during treatment, and the other daughter suffered severe head injuries and remained comatose. The conviction was under IPC Sections 302 and 307.
