A brutal act of violence unfolded in Samastipur district, Bihar, where a 59-year-old man, Biju Das, was allegedly murdered by his son-in-law. The incident occurred on Sunday night in Banghara Tola, reportedly stemming from a dispute concerning his daughter's return from her in-laws' home.
Biju Das was reportedly sleeping outside his residence when the alleged attack took place. His son-in-law, Dharmendra Das, is accused of slitting his throat with a sharp weapon before absconding. Authorities were alerted and quickly secured the crime scene, collecting forensic evidence and initiating an investigation.
Initial inquiries suggest that Dharmendra Das had frequent quarrels with his wife and was allegedly grappling with alcohol addiction. The victim's family had been reluctant to send their daughter back due to ongoing marital disputes. The escalating tensions over the daughter's vidaai are believed to have culminated in this tragic murder, prompting a manhunt for the accused.
