Couple, Their 2 Daughters Shot Dead in UP’s Amethi

Amethi: A woman was gunned down with her husband and two young daughters at their home in Amethi on Thursday. The dead children were just one and six years old.

According to NDTV, less than two months back, this woman had filed a police complaint against a man in which she had said that he had threatened to kill her on more than one occasion and would be responsible if anything happened to her or her family.

The deceased identified as Poonam Bharti, her husband Sunil Kumar and their two daughters were at their home in Amethi’s Bhavani Nagar when a few men entered their house and and shot all of them dead.

According to the police, the shootout was premeditated and was not a case of a robbery gone wrong. Bharti had filed a case of sexual harassment, threat to life and offences under the SC/ST act against one Chandan Verma in August.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has promised strict action against the culprits.

The case is now being investigated by the UP Special Task Force (STF).
