Woman, four daughters killed in Lucknow hotel laid to rest in Sambhal
Sambhal (UP) (PTI): The Agra woman and her four daughters who were allegedly killed by her son in a Lucknow hotel were buried in Sambhal on Friday in front of her grieving family.
The bodies were brought to Sambhal early on Friday.
Mohammad Arshad allegedly killed his mother Asma and sisters Alia (9), Aksa (16), Rahmeen (18) and Alshia (19) in a Lucknow hotel room on Wednesday, according to police.
He then shot a video in which he confessed to slitting the wrists and throats of his sisters and mother. In the 6.5-minute selfie video, Arshad further claimed his father was also involved in the killings.
The family members of Asma, who hailed from Sambhal, demanded the death penalty for Arshad.
Asma's brother Mohammad Zeeshan said, "I received a phone call from Lucknow that day. I spoke with Arshad. He said, 'Uncle I have killed the whole family,' after which the police took away the phone."
"I last spoke to my sister almost four months ago. She was very simple and loving. I want Arshad to get the harshest punishment, he should be hanged," he said.
He also demanded that Arshad's father be arrested immediately.
Arshad, who was arrested shortly after the murders, was on Thursday sent to judicial custody.
Arshad's family lived in Agra and preliminary inquiry has revealed that he took the step because of domestic disputes.
In the video, Arshad claimed that he took the extreme step due to harassment and oppression by the residents of his locality.

Chinese annexation of Indian territory occurred during Nehru's term: BJP hits back at Congress
New Delhi (PTI): The BJP on Sunday flayed the Congress for alleging Chinese occupation of the Indian territory during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's term and said the grand old party cannot get away with "such lies" as all of it occurred during Jawaharlal Nehru's tenure.
The BJP's reaction came a day after the Congress alleged in a post on X, "China kept occupying India's land. Narendra Modi kept giving clean chit."
Reacting sharply, BJP IT department head Amit Malviya said the Congress has the "dishonesty" to speak of Chinese annexation of the Indian territory despite the fact that all of it occurred during Nehru's tenure as the prime minister.
"Imagine blaming Prime Minister Modi for Nehru's betrayal," he said in a post on X.
"The Congress cannot get away with such lies, even if Rahul Gandhi thinks otherwise," he added.
Malviya said the "reality" is that He'an County is the new name for Aksai Chin, which China occupied by 1962.
The Hekang County refers to the adjacent territory, he said.
"The significance of He'an County lies in the G219 Highway, which China formally opened in 1957. Prime Minister Nehru acknowledged its construction in Parliament in 1959," Malviya said.
The "key features" of the He'an County include Haji Langar, occupied by China in 1959 and an Indian patrol was detained here in 1958, he said.
"Qizil Jilga, captured by China in 1962. Chung Tash, occupied by China in 1962. Dehra Compas, taken over by China in 1961. Shamal Lungpa, seized by China in October 1959, close to the site of a 1959 attack on an Indian patrol," Malviya said.
Imagine blaming Prime Minister Modi for Nehru’s betrayal!

Congress has the dishonesty to speak of Chinese annexation of Indian territory, despite the fact that all of it occurred during Jawaharlal Nehru’s tenure as Prime Minister.
