Man arrested for killing father, sister, niece over property dispute
A family feud in Prayagraj's Mauaima area turned tragic when Mukesh Patel was arrested for allegedly murdering his father Ram Singh (55), sister Sadhana Devi (21), and niece Aastha (14) over a ₹1.5 crore property dispute.
Police found bloodstains in his locked house while searching for the missing family members, and Mukesh confessed to the murders on Monday.
How a property dispute spiraled out of control
The trouble began after Ram Singh transferred his house and farmland to his younger son Mukund, which led to conflict with Mukesh.
Tensions boiled over on January 3 when Mukesh allegedly shot Mukund, who survived and reached the hospital.
Afterward, Mukesh admitted to killing his other family members and said he disposed of their bodies in a nearby well.
Police are still working to recover the bodies as their investigation continues.
