Lucknow's Manas Bajpai allegedly shot wife and sister-in-law then died
A heartbreaking incident in Lucknow saw a bank employee, Divya Mishra, and her sister-in-law allegedly shot dead by Divya's husband, Manas Bajpai, who then took his own life on August 20, 2026.
The tragedy unfolded after years of marital problems, including allegations of domestic violence and dowry harassment.
The couple had been locked in legal battles and living apart for months.
Divya Mishra filed divorce alleging abuse
Divya filed for divorce in January 2026, accusing Manas of abuse and threats. Manas denied the claims and countered with his own petition to restore their marriage.
Tensions grew over family disputes involving Sheeba Bajpai (the sister-in-law), especially after they started living separately last November.
The violence happened just two days after their latest court hearing, leaving both families shattered.
