JAIPUR: A man has lodged a murder case against his sister-in-law, nephew and niece at Kardhani police station on Sunday and alleged that his brother was killed because his wife was eyeing a job under compassionate grounds.
According to police, complainant Jai Singh said his elder brother Shakti Singh worked with Punjab National Bank and lived with his wife and two kids.
“Shakti Singh was not having cordial relations with his family members and day-to-day spat was common,” said a police officer on Monday.
Jai alleged that his brother Shakti had shown bruises and injury marks inflicted by his wife and children. “The complainant also alleged that on August 30, Shakti had told him that he was upset with the behaviour of his family members,” the officer added.
The complaint has alleged that Shakti’s wife Suman Kanwar wanted to get the job of his brother after the death, which prompted her to take his life.
Police suspect foul play and family dispute.
“We have registered a case of murder. Prima facie the complaint does not appears to have much substance. We are investigating the matter on the merits of the case,” the officer added.
