In a chilling incident in Uttar Pradesh, Sunil Kumar, a 35-year-old teacher, along with his wife Poonam and their two young daughters, was gunned down in Ahorwa Bhawani. This shocking attack has placed the state's law and order under intense scrutiny.
Authorities are investigating a potential link to previous harassment complaints lodged by Poonam against Chandan Verma under the SC/ST Act, revealing possible negligence in police response. Ram Gopal, the grieving father, urges stringent action against the perpetrators.
The Amethi police have formed five teams to probe the case, as political leaders, including Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, respond to the tragedy and the opposition criticizes the ruling party's handling of security issues.
