Summary
- A woman constable was arrested for murdering an inspector.

An apparent suicide case has transformed into a murder investigation in Jalaun district, Uttar Pradesh. Inspector Arun Kumar Rai, posted as station officer at Kuthond police station, was found deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound using his service pistol at his official residence on Friday night.
However, the narrative shifted when the deceased inspector's wife filed a complaint accusing a woman constable, Meenakshi Sharma, of his murder. Sharma, who was on Dial 112 patrolling duty in Kotch, was reportedly present at the residence during the incident. CCTV footage further implicated her, showing her fleeing the premises immediately after the gunshot.
Based on the wife's complaint and the available evidence, police have booked Constable Meenakshi Sharma under charges of murder and arrested her on Sunday. She was subsequently presented before the magistrate, marking a significant development in the ongoing investigation.
