Lucknow: In a shocking incident in Uttar Pradesh’s capital, a man was brutally murdered by his own brother-in-law, who then buried the body deep inside a forest to cover up the crime. The revelation came to light during an intensive police investigation.
The incident took place in the Krishna Nagar police station area of Lucknow, where the accused, identified as Suraj Gupta, along with a few of his friends, abducted his brother-in-law Rahul. According to police sources, the group assaulted Rahul mercilessly before killing him.
