A local court has dealt a severe blow to crime by sentencing a 55-year-old man to death for the gruesome murder of five family members. The convict, Murari Kashyap, was found guilty by the District and Session's Judge Sudhir Kumar on Tuesday for his heinous act.

The prosecution, led by District Government Counsel Pushpendra Singh Chauhan, revealed that Murari had a previous confrontation with the head of the family, Ram Bahadur, which led to his vengeful actions. Murari entered Ram Bahadur's house and set him, his wife Sarla Devi, their daughters Sandhya and Shikha, and their grandson Rishi on fire while they were asleep.

The grim details of the case disclosed that Murari locked the house from the outside after setting it ablaze, ensuring no escape for the victims. An FIR registered at the Mainpuri Kotwali Police Station carried the account of this tragedy, rooted in an earlier altercation between Murari and Ram Bahadur.
