Two Brothers Arrested for Alleged Double Murder Over Property Dispute in BhopalPreviousNext

Two brothers, Shrikant and Shashikant Chinchaliya, were arrested in Bhopal for allegedly murdering an elderly couple, Hemant Philomen and Shakuntala Barik, to seize their property through a forged gift deed. The couple was found shot dead in their Sudama Nagar home in late June. Police investigations, aided by CCTV footage and forensic evidence, revealed the accused had previously assisted the couple in property transactions and feared losing ownership when the couple decided to sell independently. A special investigation team continues probing possible additional suspects.
