A shocking double-murder case has been reported from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, where a 45-year-old man, identified as Raja Ansari, has been accused of killing his wife and teenage daughter inside their home.
According to the allegations and the statement attributed to the couple's surviving 14-year-old daughter, Ruby, the accused allegedly attacked his wife, Bibi Tabassum, while she was sleeping.
Daughter Allegedly Tried to Save Her Mother
Police are reportedly investigating the claim that Tabassum was attacked with a meat cleaver.
Their 15-year-old daughter, Sana, allegedly tried to intervene after seeing her mother being attacked. According to the reported account, Raja then attacked Sana as well, causing fatal injuries.
Ruby, who was reportedly present during the incident, allegedly managed to escape from the house despite suffering injuries. She reportedly alerted people nearby, after which neighbours intervened and caught the accused.
Alleged Motive Under Investigation
One of the most serious allegations in the case is that the killings were connected to a dispute over having a male child.
Ruby has reportedly told investigators that her father was unhappy because the family did not have a son. Police will need to verify this claim through witness statements, previous complaints, family records and other evidence.
The exact motive behind the alleged killings remains part of the investigation.
Accused Arrested
Neighbours reportedly restrained Raja after Ruby raised the alarm, and police subsequently arrived at the scene and arrested him.
Investigators are expected to examine forensic evidence, the weapon allegedly used in the attack, witness statements and other material to reconstruct the sequence of events.
Ruby, as a surviving minor witness, is also expected to receive appropriate protection and support while the investigation continues.
Investigation Underway
The case has left the local community shocked, particularly because the victims were reportedly members of the same family.
The allegations against Raja Ansari are serious, but they remain allegations until established through the judicial process. Police will now investigate the circumstances surrounding the deaths, the reported motive and the full sequence of events.
The incident also highlights the devastating consequences that domestic disputes can have when they escalate into violence. Further details are expected as investigators proceed with the case.
