Patna: In Bihar’s Nalanda district, two family members were brutally murdered with a sharp weapon before their bodies were set on fire. The incident occurred late Sunday night in Dongi village, within the Chabilapur police station area. The victims, Vijay Prasad and his wife Kanti Devi, were discovered by their son, Vipin Kumar, who alerted neighbors upon finding their charred remains in their bedroom.
Vipin, who lives in a separate house in the village, reported that when he arrived, the house had been ransacked, and there was blood everywhere, with some flowing out of the drain. A crowd quickly gathered to assist, and they managed to recover the bodies.
The police arrived around 6 a.m. Monday to investigate. Murli Manohar Azad, the Station House Officer (SHO), mentioned that they are gathering statements from Vipin and neighbors, but the motivation for the incident remains unclear. The bodies were sent for postmortem, and due to the extent of the burns, the reports will help determine the nature of any inflicted wounds. The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to uncover the details of this tragic event.
