In a major development in the Auraiya murder case, family members from both sides have come forward, vehemently demanding justice for the victim. Despite familial ties, both the brother of the accused woman and the sister of the accused man have stressed that all parties involved in the crime must face legal repercussions.

The incident unfolded when Uttar Pradesh police reported that a man named Dilip Yadav was murdered, allegedly at the behest of his wife Pragati, and her paramour, Anurag Yadav. The crime involved contract killers, and a financial arrangement of Rs 2 lakh was made for carrying out the deed. Initial evidence was uncovered through surveillance footage, leading to arrests.

Superintendent of Police Abhijeet R Shankar confirmed that Anurag had orchestrated the killing based on Pragati's instructions. Police continue to search for additional suspects involved in the conspiracy, as efforts to bring all culprits to justice remain underway.
