In a tragic incident, a young man from Agra, identified as Mohammad Arshad, took the lives of his mother and four sisters in a hotel room in Lucknow on Wednesday. The Deputy Commissioner of Police, Raveena Tyagi, confirmed that the incident took place at Hotel Sharanjeet in the busy Naka area of the city. The accused was promptly apprehended by the local police.
The victims have been identified as Alia, Alshia, Aksa, Rahmeen - all sisters of Arshad - and his mother, Asma. According to the police, Arshad's family resided in Agra and preliminary investigations suggest that the motive behind the killings was domestic disputes. A shocking video surfaced on social media shortly after the incident, where Arshad can be seen confessing to the crime. He also claimed that his father was involved in the killings and the police are currently searching for him.
The police have deployed forensic teams at the crime spot to collect evidence and have launched a detailed investigation into the matter. Joint Commissioner of Police Babloo Kumar, who arrived at the scene, stated that they are conducting a thorough inquiry with nearby hotel staff and will share any findings with the media. He also mentioned that the bodies showed signs of injuries, with one having marks on the wrist and another on the neck.
In the video, Arshad can be heard claiming that he was forced to take this drastic step due to harassment and oppression by the residents of his locality. He stated that his family was facing unimaginable atrocities and had been forced to sleep on the footpath for the past ten days. He alleged that the people of his locality wanted to snatch their house and had already taken half of their property. He also appealed to the police and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to not spare such Muslims, as they are involved in illegal activities like land grabbing and human trafficking.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the Islam Nagar neighbourhood in Agra, where the family resided. Neighbours described the family as reclusive and struggling with financial difficulties. They claimed that the family had a strained relationship with the community and had even misbehaved with women in the family. Arshad's neighbours Alim Khan and Fatima Begum recounted their experiences with the family, stating that they were distant and rude.
Arshad further alleged that the people of his locality were trying to frame his family in false cases and sell his sisters to a man in Hyderabad. He claimed that they had sought help from the police and various political groups, but no one came to their aid. He revealed that his family originally hailed from Budaun and wanted to convert to Hinduism to live peacefully. He also mentioned that they worshiped and wanted to build a temple on their property.
In the video, Arshad showed the bodies of his sisters and mother, and stated that he too may not survive until morning. He requested the authorities to take strict action against the culprits and ensure that no family in India has to face such a situation again. He clarified that the people of the guest house where his family was staying were not at fault. The reason behind the family's visit to Lucknow is still unclear.
This tragic incident has left the community in shock and raised questions about the safety and well-being of individuals facing domestic disputes. It is a reminder that we must address such issues and provide support to those in need. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their family during this difficult time.
