Bhagalpur: In a tragic incident that shocked Bihar’s Bhagalpur district, a family of three met a tragic end on Tuesday evening in Navtoliya village of Naugachhia area. The victims, a 23-year-old woman named Chandni Kumari, her 38-year-old husband Chandan Kumar and their two-year-old daughter were brutally bludgeoned and shot to death in an alleged honor killing carried out by the woman’s father and brother.
The attack was reportedly carried out due to opposition by the woman’s family to her marriage to Chandan Kumar, who was 15 years her senior. The couple had a love marriage three years ago, Chandni’s father Pappu Singh and brother Dheeraj Kumar Singh were strongly against the decision. Despite the passage of time, their hostility has not subsided, culminating in this gruesome act of violence that has shocked a community.
At the crime scene, police have recovered five spent cartridges and the iron rod used in the attack, which are important evidence. Forensic experts have been involved to minutely examine the evidence. The bodies of the victims were sent for post-mortem to determine the exact cause of death.
The accused father and brother are currently escaping from the law. His absence has triggered a search operation, with the police deploying all their resources to nab him and bring him to justice. This incident underlines the importance of maintaining decorum and respect within the community. The public is urged to avoid posting inappropriate comments and follow established guidelines for respectful conversation.
This tragic incident has not only highlighted the serious consequences of family opposition to marriage choices in some areas of India, but also underlined the urgency of social change. The search for justice continues for Chandni, Chandan and their little girl, and hopefully their untimely deaths will serve as a wake-up call to society at large.
