The victims' brother Rakesh, who worked as a sweeper here,has been accused in the case of the murder of a local trader’s wife and her 8-year-old daughter
for robbery on 9 December.
While Rakesh is absconding, the police have arrested his brother Rajesh. Rajo claimed that she had requested police to provide security at her house or to place her and her two daughters at a secure location as there was a threat to their life after a mob had threatened to set her house ablaze, about two days after the incident of murder; but the police did not help.
Earlier DIG Ashok Kumar had ruled out the involvement of a mob in the incident and had claimed that prima facie, it was a case of accident or suicide. Rajo also alleged that the police had initially refused to register her complaint in this regard, while the DIG had said that police was not approached.
