Azamgarh,
14 Jan (HS): A shocking incident unfolded last night in the Amilo neighborhood
of the Mubarakpur police station area of Azamgarh district, Uttar Pradesh.
Family members are accused of brutally beating their own son to death in a
domestic dispute, while his wife and one-and-a-half-year-old son were also
seriously injured. Both injured are undergoing treatment at the district
hospital. Police have detained five of the accused family members and begun
questioning them.
Shabana
Bano, the deceased's wife, a resident of Amilo Mohalla in Mubarakpur, alleges
that late Tuesday night, her husband Mohammad Tahir's parents, brother, and
other family members locked the door of their home from inside. They then
stuffed a cloth into Tahir's mouth and brutally beat him with sticks and other weapons.
After
the assault, Tahir, who was seriously injured, was thrown out of the house.
When Shabana Bano and her one and a half year old son tried to intervene, they
were also beaten up by the family members and were seriously injured. After the
incident, Shabana Bano called 112 and informed the police. The police reached
the spot and first took the injured to Mubarakpur Hospital, from where they
were referred to the district hospital. During treatment at the district
hospital, doctors declared Mohammad Tahir dead early on Wednesday.
Meanwhile,
CO Sadar Aastha Jaiswal stated that the deceased's wife had initially filed a
dowry harassment claim, after which the deceased's father had evicted his son.
This led to an argument and physical altercation within the family, resulting
in Mohammad Tahir's death. She stated that five family members have been
detained and are being questioned, and the investigation into the incident is
ongoing.
