Accused in Hathras DM driver's daughter murder case arrested
Kalpita Sharma, 24, daughter of a Hathras District Magistrate's driver, was shot and killed on June 14 while returning from the market with her mother. Two men on a motorcycle blocked their way and opened fire—Kalpita was declared dead upon arrival at the hospital, and her mother recognized one attacker as someone the family knew.
Accused arrested after encounter
Police have arrested Naveen, named as the main accused, after an encounter in Hathras. He was injured during his arrest and is being treated at a hospital. Investigators recovered a country-made pistol from him and believe personal enmity fueled by an ongoing family feud led to the murder. Kalpita's mother has pointed to her daughter-in-law's lover as being involved in the attack. The case is still under investigation.
