Indore, June 23 (NationPress) Following the tragic murder of Raja Raghuvanshi, the city of Indore in Madhya Pradesh has been shaken once again by a horrific crime, where a daughter-in-law is accused of murdering her mother-in-law.
An official reported that the incident took place late Sunday in the Sheetal Nagar Colony of Indore.
The police discovered the body of the victim, identified as Gomati, aged between 45 and 50, lying in a pool of blood inside her residence.
Initial investigations have been launched, revealing that the violent incident stemmed from ongoing domestic strife that plagued the household.
The accused, identified as Neha, frequently engaged in arguments with her mother-in-law, which typically escalated into heated disputes.
On the fateful Sunday, a physical confrontation broke out, during which Neha, who is younger, managed to overpower Gomati and dragged her towards the bathroom. Grabbing a heavy object (likely a stone), Neha brutally struck her mother-in-law’s face multiple times, ultimately leading to her death.
The horrifying scene was uncovered by Gomati's son Sandeep, who returned home to find his mother unconscious and bleeding in the bathroom.
He promptly alerted neighbors and rushed her to a nearby hospital, but unfortunately, the medical team pronounced her dead upon arrival.
The local authorities were also notified of the incident.
Upon their arrival at the crime scene, police took Neha into custody and launched a deeper investigation into the matter.
Neha and Sandeep, both residents of Indore, had been married for two years.
Reports further indicated that just days prior, Gomati had visited a police station to file a complaint against her daughter-in-law, alleging that Neha had threatened her life.
Law enforcement confirmed that Neha is now in custody, with investigations continuing.
