Uttar Pradesh Businessman Killed by Stepson Over Mother's Remarriage Dispute
In Uttar Pradesh's Rampur district, 35-year-old businessman Navjot Singh was shot dead at his car service centre on October 10. Police arrested his 22-year-old stepson, Avdeep Singh, who had recently returned from New Zealand, and Avdeep's cousin, Rajandeep Singh, in connection with the murder. The killing reportedly stemmed from family tensions over Navjot's marriage to Kamal Kaur, a 49-year-old widow and mother of Avdeep, which her sons opposed. Authorities recovered weapons and a vehicle used in the crime, and investigations continue.
