In a shocking episode that unfolded on Wednesday, a 24-year-old man, identified as Mohammad Arshad, allegedly murdered his mother and four sisters in a hotel room in Lucknow. According to local police, the brutal act highlights the alleged harassment over a land dispute in their hometown of Agra.

The police swiftly apprehended Arshad following the incident at Hotel Sharanjeet in the city's Naka area. Reports suggest that Arshad took this grievous step due to ongoing domestic disputes, exacerbated by the alleged oppression from his community. The victims, including Arshad's mother Asma and his sisters Alia, Alshia, Aksa, and Rahmeen, were found with fatal injuries.

As forensic teams gather evidence, the narrative of a wider community feud emerges, with accusations of land grabbing and harassment. In a video circulating on social media, Arshad claimed responsibility but also placed blame on local residents. The tragedy sheds light on alleged socio-political dynamics at play and the dire need for intervention.
