In a disturbing case from Rajasthan’s Karauli district, police have reported that a mother and her brother orchestrated the murder of her son and daughter-in-law, allegedly due to concerns about their extramarital relationships. According to the police, the couple, Vikas and Deeksha, who were married earlier this year in January and came from a village in Agra, were killed as the mother feared their actions would bring disgrace to the family.

Circle Officer Anuj Shubham stated that the accused mother, Lalita, felt that Vikas and Deeksha’s indiscretions could result in social ostracism. After confronting them multiple times without effect, she conspired with her brother, Rambaran, to eliminate both her son and daughter-in-law. Rambaran, in turn, enlisted his driver, Chaman Khan, in the deadly plan, according to PTI.
