Brother-in-law stabbed to death in hospital over money feud
13 Nov
Summary
- A 39-year-old man was fatally stabbed by his brother-in-law.
- The dispute centered on suspicions of financial help between family members.
- The fatal stabbing occurred inside a hospital in Rajasthan's Kota.
A violent family feud culminated in a fatal stabbing at a Kota hospital on Thursday morning. Maulik Jain, 39, was killed by his brother-in-law, Kapil Jain, during an altercation outside the ICU. The dispute reportedly revolved around Kapil's suspicion that their father was providing financial assistance to Maulik.
Maulik had gone to the hospital to visit his injured mother-in-law when the argument with Kapil escalated. Kapil subsequently stabbed Maulik in the chest, causing his death at the scene. Maulik's wife attempted to intervene and sustained minor scratches from the knife.
This incident follows months of tension, including a previous arrest of Kapil for threatening Maulik. A family-brokered settlement last month failed to resolve the underlying financial dispute. The attack has also highlighted concerns about hospital security, with reports of non-functional CCTV cameras in the area.
