Couple and Accomplices Confess to Murdering Elderly Relative and Husband

On October 25, 2025, the Hisar police cracked a case involving the murder of Madan Lal, an elderly resident of Mangali Akalan village, whose body was discovered on the roadside approximately a week prior. The police have apprehended three individuals - the wife of the deceased's younger brother and her two accomplices.

During interrogation, the accused confessed to strangling the deceased's younger brother, who was the husband of the woman accused. The arrested individuals were identified as Rekha, a resident of Mangali village, and Mandeep and Pravesh, both residents of Mehanda village.

According to the police, the accused woman was involved in an extramarital relationship. On the night of October 25, Madan Lal went to his sister-in-law Rekha's residence on his scooter and was later found dead. The investigation revealed that Rekha informed Mandeep and Pravesh about Madan Lal's expected arrival, and the two male accused then deliberately struck Madan Lal's scooter. After he fell to the ground, they assaulted him with an iron pipe, causing severe head injuries that resulted in his death. The accused subsequently fled the scene.

The police also ascertained that the same accused had earlier strangled Rekha's husband, Surjit, a few days prior to this incident. The three accused jointly executed the crimes in a planned and coordinated manner.
