Mother and Son Arrested for Alleged Murder of Daughter in Indore

Mother and Son Arrested for Alleged Murder of Daughter in IndorePreviousNext

In Indore, Madhya Pradesh, a mother, Sheetal Agrawal, and her son, Prakash Agrawal, were arrested for the alleged murder of 25-year-old Jyoti Agrawal. Initially reported as a suicide by poison following a family dispute over Jyoti's relationship with a boyfriend from another caste, investigations revealed she died from a severe head injury sustained during an altercation. Police found inconsistencies in the family's account, deleted CCTV footage, and an untouched poison packet, leading to a murder case and their police remand.
