Lucknow Police on Wednesday arrested a 24-year-old man for allegedly murdering his mother and four sisters inside a city-based hotel. Soon after committing the crime in connivance with his father, the accused shot a video in which he claimed to have taken the extreme step as he was helpless in front of the people of his locality and wanted to save the ‘honour’ of the women in the family.
Raveena Tyagi, Central Lucknow Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), informed the media that the deceased have been identified as Alia (9), Alshia (19), Aksa (16) and Rahmeen (18), all sisters of Arshad, and his mother Asma. She said that a preliminary inquiry has revealed that he took the step because of domestic disputes.
