Badaun. A case of murder of a woman and her eight-year-old Dhewate has come to light in Kanha Nagla village of Binawar police station area of the district. There was a sensation in the area when their bodies were found inside the house on Saturday morning. The deceased have been identified as 47-year-old Niaz Bano and her brother-in-law Afnan. The post mortem report has confirmed that both of them died due to suffocation due to strangulation.
It was told that on Friday night, Afnan had stayed at his grandmother's house after having dinner and insisted on sleeping there. When his mother Hina arrived with tea on Saturday morning, she found the main door of the house open. On going inside, the bodies of mother and son were found lying there. After this the family and village people were informed about the incident.
Questions were also raised on the possibility of looting
Initially, when ear rings and an anklet of the woman were missing, it was suspected that she was murdered with the intention of robbery. However, during police investigation, other items of the house were found safe. SSP Ankita Sharma has termed Kundal robbery as suspicious. He says that even the holes for wearing earrings were not found in the woman's ears. Police are investigating this aspect separately.
Fear of involvement of acquaintance
After not finding any clear evidence of forced entry or struggle at the spot, the police's suspicion has also shifted towards someone known or close to them. The investigation teams are finding out who had come to Niaz Bano's house on Friday. Information about the suspects is being collected by interrogating the people nearby. Call details of mobile phones of close ones are also being scrutinized.
Four police teams started investigation
Forensic team and dog squad investigated the spot. The sniffer dog stopped at a crossroads near a field, about 100 meters away from the house. Police have also made this information a part of the investigation. On the complaint of Afnan's grandfather, a case of murder has been registered against unknown accused. Four teams including SOG are busy in uncovering the case.
Niaz Bano's husband died about 15 years ago. After this he worked as a laborer and raised his four children. At the same time, Afnan was very close to his grandmother and often came to stay with her. Due to this double murder, there is an atmosphere of mourning and worry in the entire village along with the family.
