Prayagraj: A horrifying double murder in broad daylight has sent shockwaves through Prayagraj after retired FCI officer Arun Srivastava and his wife Meena Srivastava were found brutally murdered at their residence.
According to police sources, unidentified assailants broke into the couple’s home and attacked them with sharp-edged weapons, leaving both dead at the scene. Arun Srivastava had seven severe injuries on his head, chest, and neck, while Meena Srivastava sustained fatal head injuries.
The house was found in a ransacked state, with broken cupboards and scattered belongings, pointing strongly to a robbery angle. After committing the crime, the suspects locked the main gate from outside and fled, trying to make the act appear less suspicious.
CCTV footage from the area has reportedly captured a suspect fleeing the scene, and police have detained one person for questioning in connection with the case.
An SIT (Special Investigation Team) has been formed, and a dog squad and forensic team were also deployed to gather evidence. Police have assured that a detailed investigation is underway, and those responsible for the heinous crime will be brought to justice.
Authorities are appealing to residents in the neighborhood to come forward with any relevant information that may aid the investigation.
