Amethi (Uttar Pradesh) [India], October 4 (ANI): In a gruesome murder that occurred here in Oharwa Bhawani on Thursday evening, the family of a 35-year-old teacher was shot dead at their residence.
On the eve of Navratri, the assailants had barged into the residence of the victim, Sunil Kumar and shot dead him and his family, consisting of his wife Poonam Bharti, and his two daughters, aged five and two.
As per police, the deceased wife had filed an FIR against Chandan Verma, a probable accused in the case under various sections of IPC at the Raebareli Police Station.
Further information from the police has revealed that there are no signs of forced entry of the assailants in the house. 
“Unknown people had entered the home and shot dead the teacher, his wife and his two daughters, aged five and two. The case does not appear to be of robbery. A case had been filed against a man identified as Chandan Verma around August 18 in connection with the commission of offences under the SC/ST Act. We are investigating if that is a possible reason for the murder,” said Superintendent Anup Singh.
A panel of doctors here have conducted the post-mortem of the bodies of the deceased and have sent them to Sudampur in Raebareli, the village of the deceased.
Anshuman Singh, CMO Amethi said, “In the post mortem findings, one bullet was recovered from Sunil Kumar and two bullets were recovered from his wife Poonam and there were exit wounds in the two children which confirms that they were killed by bullets. Post-mortem findings have been submitted to the police.”
Amethi MP Kishori Lal Sharma questioned the state government and said the investigation should be speeded up.
“This is a gruesome crime. I have been in touch with the deceased’s father since yesterday… I have talked to the DM and asked for an investigation keeping all angles in mind… If the state government applauds itself for the law and order situation in the state, why are such crimes happening?… Rahul Gandhi had asked me to visit the family and on his instructions, I have been in touch with the family since yesterday,” KL Sharma said.
